The purpose of the IRAM research project was to find if ( in some computing applications ) a better trade-off between cost and performance could be achieved with an architecture in which DRAM was integrated on-chip with the processor, thus eliminating the need for a redundant static memory cache & mdash; even though the technology used was not optimum for DRAM implementation.

Objects with static memory allocation, notably objects stored in static variables, and classes modules ( if classes or modules are themselves objects, and statically allocated ), have a subtle non-determinism in many languages : while their lifetime appears to coincide with the run time of the program, the " order " of creation and destruction-which static object is created first, which second, etc .-is generally nondeterministic.
