Here are typical orders of magnitude of memory access times and sizes of the major memory components. These values are generic and they change rapidly as computers become faster but their ratios stay relatively constant:
Latency (nanoseconds) Size (kilobytes)
L1-cache 3 32
L2-cache 30 4096
RAM 300 500,000
Disk 30,000,000 10,000,000
As you can see, memory efficiency can be hugely different depending on how much the application uses the faster memory components and avoids the slower ones.
The first practical conclusion from this data is that disk access as a substitute for memory access should be avoided in any performance-sensitive situation. High Performance Computing, Second Edition, by Kevin Dowd and Charles Severance (O'Reilly and Associates) is an excellent further resource regarding memory access speed and related issues.
Pro/ENGINEER Use of Memory
Unlike older applications that explicitly use disks for some of their storage requirements, Pro/ENGINEER keeps all model data directly in memory. It assumes that the system has enough memory for all needs. This approach relies on the OS virtual memory (VM) system. All modern operating systems contain page-demand VM systems. The main advantage of such a system is that memory available to applications is not limited to random access memory (RAM); disk swap space can also be used. The application or the users do not have to do anything special about using it: the OS handles it automatically.
