Micron Technology Inc. (MU), the largestU.S. maker of computer-memory chips, rose the most in two monthsafter Japan-based rivalElpida Memory Inc. (6665)filed for bankruptcy.

Micronadvanced7.7 percent to $8.56 at the close in NewYork, for the biggest one-day percentage increase since Dec. 22.

The biggest thing it does is signal to the market thatprices need to come up for DRAM, Cassidy, a New York-basedanalyst, said of Elpidas bankruptcy filing. PC manucturershave been benefiting from the DRAM industry selling below itscost, said Cassidy, who recommendsbuyingMicron shares.

While Boise, Idaho-based Micron doesnt need to acquire anyof Elpidas assets, Nand flash presents a higher growthopportunity, he said in a telephone interview today.

Dan Francisco, a Micron spokesman, said the company doesntcomment on market rumors.

COMPUTER memory chip maker Elpida filed for chapter eleven protection from creditors yesterday with 448bn yen (3.5bn) in debt one of the biggest bankruptcy filings ever by a Japanese manucturer.

The company, which makes DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) chips used in traditional compucomputermemoryters,
Download latest Anvi Smart Defender to repair your computer and protect your privacy. has taken a hit since consumers have turned their eyes to tablets, which are less reliant on DRAM chips.

Elpida has made a net loss for the last six quarters, blaming floods in Thailand and the record strong yen as well as rising competition.

The schedule for Micron Technologys high-stakes fraud and patent-infringement lawsuit against memory designer Rambus has been reset so the court can digest findings in a similar case involving chipmaker Infineon.A U.S. District Court in Wilmington, Del., was scheduled to begin hearing part of the Micron case May 31 as part of a nonjury proceeding. Instead, hearings will begin on the original date of Oct. 29, said Micron representative Sean Mahoney. The case could be worth many millions of dollars.

The delay is so the court can review findings from a Virginia case involving similar claims between Rambus and Infineon. In that case, the judgethrew outall of Rambus claims, which alleged that Infineon violated Rambus patents in producing SDRAM, the most common type of memory used in current computers, and ster DDR DRAM.

The Virginia court laterruled againstRambus in a countersuit by Infineon that alleged Rambus committed fraud by iling to disclose required information on its designs to the Joint Electronic Devices Engineering Council (JEDEC), a trade group formed to set standards for computer-memory chips. The jury awarded Infineon $3.5 million in damages, but Judge Robert Payne is expected to reduce the award to $350,000 to conform with state law.

Payne is expected to rule next month on whether certain Rambus patents are enforceable given the fraud findings.

Mahoney said that decision and previous rulings in the Virginia case are likely to heavily influence Microns case against Rambus, which involves similar fraud allegations.

A lot of the claims are similar, he said. We believe the Virginia fraud ruling is applicable to all the JEDEC members.

While the Virginia courts findings are not legally binding on other cases, they are expected to heavily influence decisions in the Micron case and a similar action against Hynix Semiconductor (formerly Hyundai Electronics).

The stakes are high for Rambus. According to royalty ratesrevealedduring the Infineon trial,
Download latest Anvi Smart Defender to repair your computer and protect your privacy. Rambus collects close to $2 for each 128MB DDR DRAM chip sold by chipmakers–including market leader Samsung–that have signed agreements with the company.

One analyst estimated that Rambus would reap as much as $1 billion in royalty payments, retroactive over the past decade, if it were successful in its case against Infineon.

Computer-memory prices are declining once again, but if you think thats a sign the component shortage is easing up, guess again.Prices for dynamic random access memory, orDRAM, chips have taken an unexpected slide in recent weeks because of sluggish PC purchasing. Micron Technology, which is expected to report earnings of 96 cents a share later today, has been selling 64-megabit DRAM in the wholesale or contract market for $7.50, or 50 cents less than the week before, according to a report fromMerrill LynchsJoe Osha. In August, Microns contract price was between $8 and $8.40, Micron executives said at a Bank of America conference in late September.

Meanwhile, Samsung dropped its contract prices, the prices that large PC makers pay, to the low $8 range, while Hitachi sent DRAM down to the mid-$7 range.

Despite the downturn, however, the industry remains mired in a manucturing capacityshortllthat likely will not disappear for another year, barring an economic downturn. PC demand may have slowed for now, but it still outpaces the ability of chipmakers to consistently produce DRAM or other components such as flash memory.

It is likely that the flash market will be tight until 2002, while the DRAM market will be firm until 2003, said Jim Handy, an analyst atDataquest. Right now, however, there is an oversupply that should be short-lived, he said.

The recent price declines stem largely from slower-than-expected PC demand in what has turned oucomputermemoryt to be a hard-to-read year for the high-tech industry. DRAM prices move irly fluidly. In the beginning of the year, some analysts predicted memory prices would be rising by now with the seasonal uptick in computer buying.

Instead, prices went the other way.

Our indication is that box demand is down, said Jim Sogas, director of the DRAM business unit at Hitachi. It is a little bit of a surprise. This is usually the strongest part of the year. Even in a soft period, September and October are always the good months.

Dataquests Handy added that unusual buying patterns have helped confound projections. In the first and second quarters, computer makers began to stock up on memory to avoid a crunch in the ll. These stockpiles became excess inventory that needed to be moved when PC demandiledto materialize as expected.

Chip manucturers have continued to tweak their operations to increase production volumes, he added.

The DRAM thing is a little bit of a complex issue,
Download latest Anvi Smart Defender to repair your computer and protect your privacy. he said. Memory prices will likely once again track up, or at least level off, if demand picks up as usual in the fourth quarter.

Despite demand fluctuations, the industry is still short on ctory capacity. Typically, the total number of DRAM bits, or memory cells, produced by the industry grows by 80 percent annually. Flash memory, which is used to store data and programs in cell phones and other devices, grows 100 percent annually, in terms of bits. To hit those numbers, expansion is needed.

The number of wafers going into DRAM production dont get you to bit growth north of 80 percent, said Osha.

Not everyone agrees, however. In the DRAM market, were kind of right on the brink of moving from somewhat of a shortage to an oversupply situation, said Brian Matas, an analyst withIC Insights. Samsung and other manucturers will boost capacity next year, which will dampen prices.

A few of the manucturers are a little surprised that it (the price) hasnt gone higher, he added.

In addition, an economic slowdown could easily change the picture, said Osha. If we are going to have a no-fooling-around recession, the cycle could end.

Incomputing,memoryrefers to the physical devices used to store programs (sequences of instructions) or data (e.g. programstate information) on a temporary or permanent basis for use in acomputeror otherelectronicdevice. The termprimary memoryis used for the information in physical systems which are st (i.e.RAM), as a distinction fromsecondary memory, which are physical devices forprogram and data storagewhich are slow to access but offer higher memory capacity. Primary memory stored on secondary memory is calledvirtual memory.

The term storage is often (but not always) used in separate computers of traditionalsecondary memorysuch as tape, magnetic disks and optical discs (CD-ROMandDVD-ROM). The term memory is often (but not always) associated with addressablesemiconductor memory, i.e.integrated circuitsconsisting ofsilicon-basedtransistors, used for example asprimary memorybut also other purposes in computers and otherelectronicdevices.

There are two main types of semiconductor memory:volatileandnon-volatile. Examples ofnon-volatile memoryareflash memory(sometimes used as secondary, sometimes primary computer memory) andROM/PROM/EPROM/EEPROMmemory (used forfirmwaresuch as boot programs). Examples ofvolatile memoryareprimary memory(typically dynamicRAM,DRAM), and stCPU cachememory (typically static RAM,SRAM, which is st but energy-consuming and offer lower memory capacity per area unit than DRAM) .

The semiconductor memory is organized intomemory cellsorbistable flip-flops, each storing one binarybit(0 or 1). The memory cells are grouped into words of fixword length, for example 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 bit. Each word can be accessed by a binary address ofNbit, it possible to store 2 raised byNwords in the memory. This implies thatregistersnormally are not considered as memory, since they only store one word and do not include an addressing mechanism.

Detail of the back of a section of ENIAC, showing vacuum tubesIn the early 1940s, memory technology mostly permitted a capacity of a few bytes. The first electronic programmabledigital computer, theENIAC, using thousands of octal-base radiovacuum tubes, could perform calculations involving 20 numbers of ten decimal digits which were held in the vacuum tubeaccumulators.

The next significant advance in computer memory was with acousticdelay line memorydeveloped byJ. Presper Eckertin the early 1940s. Through the construction of a glass tube filled withmercuryand plugged at each end with a quartz crystal, delay lines could store bits of information within the quartz and transfer it through sound waves propagating through mercury.Delay line memorywould be limited to a capacity of up to a few hundred thousand bits to remain efficient.

Two alternatives to the delay line, theWilliams tubeandSelectron tube, were developed in 1946, both using electron beams in glass tubes as means of storage. Usingcathode ray tubes,Fred Williamswould invent the Williams tube, which would be the firstrandom access computer memory. The Williams tube would prove to be advantageous to the Selectron tube because of its greater capacity (the Selectron was limited to 256 bits, while the Williams tube could store thousands) and being less expensive. The Williams tube would nevertheless prove to be frustratingly sensitcomputermemoryive to environmental disturbances.

Efforts began in the late 1940s to findnon-volatile memory.Jay Forrester,Jan A. RajchmanandAn Wangwould be credited with the development ofmagnetic core memory, which would allow for recall of memory after power loss. Magnetic core memory would become the dominant form of memory until the development oftransistorbased memory in the late 1960s.

Volatile memoryis computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information. Most modernsemiconductorvolatile memory is either Static RAM (seeSRAM) or dynamic RAM (seeDRAM). SRAM retains its contents as long as the power is connected and is easy to intece to but uses six transistors per bit. Dynamic RAM is more complicated to intece to and control and needs regular refresh cycles to prevent its contents being lost. However, DRAM uses only one transistor and a capacitor per bit, allowing it to reach much higher densities and, with more bits on a memory chip, be much cheaper per bit. SRAM is not worthwhile for desktop system memory, where DRAM dominates,
Download latest Anvi Smart Defender to repair your computer and protect your privacy. but is used for their cache memories. SRAM is commonplace in small embedded systems, which might only need tens of kilobytes or less. Forthcoming volatile memory technologies that hope to replace or compete with SRAM and DRAM includeZ-RAM,TTRAM,A-RAMandETA RAM.

Non-volatile memoryis computer memory that can retain the stored information even when not powered. Examples of non-volatile memory include read-only memory (seeROM),flash memory, most types of magnetic computer storage devices (e.g.hard disks,floppy discsandmagnetic tape),optical discs, and early computer storage methods such as tapeandpunched cards. Forthcoming non-volatile memory technologies includeFeRAM,CBRAM,PRAM,SONOS,RRAM,Racetrack memory,NRAMandMillipede.

Main article:Memory managementProper management of memory is vital for a computer system to operate properly. Modernoperating systemshave complex systems to properly manage memory. Failure to do so can lead to bugs, slow performance, and at worst case, takeover by viruses and malicious software.

Nearly everything a computer programmer does requires him or her to consider how to manage memory. Even storing a number in memory requires the programmer to specify how the memory should store it.

Inarithmetic overflow, a calculation results in a number larger than the allocated memory permits. For example, an 8-bit integer allows the numbers −127 to +127. If its value is 127 and it is instructed to add one, the computer can not store the number 128 in that space. Such a case will result in undesired operation, such as changing the numbers value to −127 instead of +128.

Amemory leakoccurs when a program requests memory from the operating system and never returns the memory when its done with it. A program with this bug will gradually require more and more memory until the program ils as it runs out.

Asegmentation ultresults when a program tries to access memory that it has no permission to access. Generally a program doing so will be terminated by the operating system.

Buffer overflowmeans that a program writes data to the end of its allocated space and then continues to write data to memory that belongs to other programs. This may result in erratic program behavior, including memory access errors, incorrect results, a crash, or a breach of system security. They are thus the basis of many software vulnerabilities and can be maliciously exploited.

In early computer systems, programs typically specified the location to write memory and what data to put there. This location was a physical location on the actual memory hardware. The slow processing of such computers did not allow for the complex memory management systems used today. Also, as most such systems were single-task, sophisticated systems were not required as much.

This approach has its pitlls. If the location specified is incorrect, this will cause the computer to write the data to some other part of the program. The results of an error like this are unpredictable. In some cases, the incorrect data might overwrite memory used by the operating system. Computer crackers can take advantage of this to create viruses and malware.

Main article:virtual memoryVirtual memoryis a system where all physical memory is controlled by the operating system. When a program needs memory, it requests it from the operating system. The operating system then decides what physical location to place the memory in.

This offers several advantages. Computer programmers no longer need to worry about where the memory is physically stored or whether the users computer will have enough memory. It also allows multiple types of memory to be used. For example, some memory can be stored in physical RAM chips while other memory is stored on a hard drive. This drastically increases the amount of memory available to programs. The operating system will place actively used memory in physical RAM, which is much ster than hard disks. When the amount of RAM is not sufficient to run all the current programs, it can result in a situation where the computer spends more time moving memory from RAM to disk and back than it does accomplishing tasks; this is known asthrashing.

Virtual memory systems usually include protected memory, but this is not always the case.

Main article:memory protectionProtected memoryis a system where each program is given an area of memory to use and is not permitted to go outside that range. Use of protected memory greatly enhances both the reliability and security of a computer system.

Without protected memory, it is possible that a bug in one program will alter the memory used by another program. This will cause that other program to run off of corrupted memory with unpredictable results. If the operating systems memory is corrupted, the entire computer system may crash and need to be rebooted. At times programs intentionally alter the memory used by other programs. This is done by viruses and malware to take over computers.

Protected memory assigns programs their own areas of memory. If the operating system detects that a program has tried to alter memory that does not belong to it, the program is terminated. This way, only the offending program crashes, and other programs are not affected by the error.

Protected memory systems almost always include virtual memory as well.
