Memory Field Information

The memory is reported in 32-bit words because that is the smallest memory storage unit. This means that a RAN six bytes long uses 2 words of memory for storing the RAN data.

Both File System revisions 0 and 1 use 16 words of memory for header information for each RAN stored.

File System revision 0 removes 16 words for each of the 2048 RANs (32768 words total) that could be stored on the VRAS SIMM from the available memory. So the total Available Memory for File System revision 0 is 0x5F8000. The Used Memory field counts only the memory words used for the RAN data, not the 16 words used for the RAN header.

File System revision 1 does not know the maximum number of RANs that may be stored on the VRAS SIMM, so the 16 words of header information for each RAN stored is added to the Used Memory for each RAN. Thus the total Available Memory for File System revision 1 is 0x600000. The deleted memory in the Defragmentation Level field also includes the 16 words for each deleted RAN.
