An economic comparison has been made between fully integrated scratch-pad memories and thin magnetic-film scratch-pad memories on the basis of assumed component costs. On this basis, magnetic film memories are more expensive than fully integrated memories for very small memories, as expected. In terms of the assumptions made, the economic crossover as a function of memory size between the two memo... View full abstract»
