  • Abstract
    Early in the development of computers, it was recognized that a hierarchy of memory was essential to enable timely access to data. Due to its relatively low cost and high access speed, Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) technology has had a virtual monopoly on the main memory segment. Dr. Randy Isaac examines some of the key factors that determined the success of the DRAM industry since its beginnings in 1970.
