Memory

In this symbolic description of the memory structure, you can learn about memory components and terminology.

For the theoretical side of the application we've created a space atmosphere, the objects float in space above a geospherical wire ball. This gives an unrealistic feeling to the viewer, and elevates the objects to the symbolical world of theory. You may play with the memory to see how areas of the memory are accessed, and how the different modes ("Real Mode" and "Protected Mode") are designed for CPU access, or anything about memory management you wish to know, and more.

PC Inside

3D PC Explorer lets you open up your PC in a virtual environment, and voyage through its innermost components.

The realistic side of the application gives an opportunity to virtually "touch" the hardware. It was created as realistic as possible.

The tour starts in an ordinary room, where a computer is placed on a table. From there you click your way into the PC parts: play with the Mouse ball, pull the Graphic Card out of their slots, fly into the Hard-Disk and tap-dance on the spinning plates.

Cache

The cache was always a mystery. What is it good for? how does it work? would it help if the entire memory on the PC was an S-RAM? This scene explains what the cache is, and how it works. Explore the hit/miss rate (do you know what it is)?

Block Diagram

In the theoretic level, everything is animated, to better understand how things work, they just work for you - in front of your eyes. See the different components interact with each other.
