2 shows a typical memory hierarchy described both in terms of the devices used to implement the memory and the use of the memory within the system. At the peak of the pyramid are the CPU registers, which are the fastest, smallest (because of limited on-chip space), and most expensive (per bit of storage) devices used in a computer. Next is cache memory, which is usually constructed from static RAM chips. Below that is physical memory, or just plain "memory" as seen by the user, which is typically constructed from dynamic RAM chips.
