PLC70 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 Hi friends, whenever i read specifications of a specific CPU i always confused by work memory and load memory. Can anybody explain these two Work memory and Load memory in easy words? Quote

Load memory is ROM and RAM that that holds the program. That's my interpretation anyway. Edited September 28, 2012 by IamJon Quote
PLC70 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Posted September 29, 2012 Thanks alot. I have downloaded PDF from the link, mentioned in your post. I will read this document to clear the concept of work memory and load memory. Quote
PLC70 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Posted September 29, 2012 My perception about work memory is taht it is cache used to keep intermediate results of calculations during program execution. Am i true please reply. Quote
IamJon Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 That seems accurate enough. Why do you want to know this? Quote
PLC70 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Posted October 2, 2012 To clear my concepts i want to know that because there so many people around me who are working on PLCs but they are not clear about work memory and load memory. Please also explain me main memory. Quote
