  Magnetic bubble memory
Magnetic bubble memory is a type of computer memory that uses a thin film of a magnetic material to hold small magnetized areas, known as bubbles, which each store a bit.
The first was the development of the first core memory system driven by a transistor-based controller, and the second was the development of Twistor memory.
Twistor memory was based on magnetostriction, an effect which can be used to move magnetic fields.

 Twistor memory
Twistor is a form of computer memory, similar to core memory, formed by wrapping magnetic tape around a current-carrying wire.
Twistor is largely the brainchild of a single person, Andrew Bobeck, who later developed bubble memory after generalizing some of the concepts used in Twistor.
One major advantage of twistor is that the entire row of twistors enclosed by one of the Y solenoids can be read or written at the same time, because there is no need for a sense/inhibit line.

 Why didn't Bubble memory get popular
Bubble memory is a type of computer memory that uses a thin film of a magnetic material to hold small magnetized areas, known as bubbles, which each store one bit of data.
Soon, however, bubble memory was a dead end and almost all work on it stopped, as the introduction of higher-density and faster hard disk systems in the early 1980s pretty much killed bubble memory entirely.
Bubble memory found uses in niche markets through the 1980s in systems needing to avoid the higher rates of mechanical failures of disk drives, and in systems operating in high vibration or harsh environments.

Bubble memory is a type of non-volatile computer memory that uses a thin film of a magnetic material to hold small magnetized areas, known as bubbles, which each store one bit of data.
The first was the development of the first magnetic core memory system driven by a transistor-based controller, and the second was the development of Twistor memory.
A memory device is formed by lining up tiny electromagnets at one end with detectors at the other end.

Cache memory is a special type of internal memory used by many central processing units to increase their performance or "throughput".
In modern computers, electronic solid-state random access memory is used for main storage, and is directly connected to the CPU via a "memory bus" (shown in the diagram) and a "data bus".
In early computers, magnetic storage was also used for primary storage in a form of magnetic drum, or core memory, core rope memory, thin film memory, twistor memory or bubble memory.

 Twistor memory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Y wires were replaced by solenoids wrapping a number of twistor wires.
The magnetic tape was specifically selected to only allow magnetization along the length of the tape, so only a single point of the twistor would have the right direction of field to become magnetized.
Typically the magnetic tape was wound around a copper wire, with a stack of such wires being embedded in a PET film sheet.

Early core memory systems had cycle times of about 6 µs, which had fallen to 1.2 µs by the early 1970s, and by the mid-70s it was down to 600 ns (0.6 µs).
An example of this is the core memory used by Digital Equipment Corporation for their PDP-1 computer; this strategy continued through all of the follow-on core memory systems built by DEC for their PDP line of air-cooled computers.
Examples of this are the heated air core memory of the IBM 1620 (which could take up to 30 minutes to reach operating temperature, about 106 °F, 41 °C) and the heated oil bath core memory of the IBM 709, IBM 7090, and IBM 7030.

 Isotropic and nearly isotropic permanent magnet alloys - Patent 4391656
Alloys of the invention are highly ductile even after plastic deformation, they are readily bonded to aluminum supports (as used, e.g., in the manufacture of twistor memories), and they are readily etched by etchants which leave aluminum unaffected.
Memories of this type may be used as program stores in electronic switching systems.
Specified magnetic properties for Fe-Mo-Ni alloys for PMT memory application are remanent induction, B.sub.r, greater than 7500 gauss, coercive force, H.sub.c, between 190 and 250 oersted, and remanent flux density, B.sub.d, greater than 7000 gauss at a demagnetizing field of -100 oersted.

 The history of (computer) storage
In the years between 1950 and 1980 some storage devices where build that nowadays hardly anyone would remember, for example the bubble memory or the twistor memory.
One of these technologies was the first memory disk, called the floppy disk, invented by Alan Shugart at IBM in 1971.
In 2003 the first blue-laser based disc, the Blue-ray disc, was released and the first PC drives are to be expected in 2006.

 Bubble memory
Bubble Memory uses a thin film of a magnetic material to hold small magnetized areas, known as bubbles, which each store one bit of data.
Andrew Bobeck invented the Bubble Memory in 1970. His development of the magnetic core memory and the development of the twistor memory put him in a good position for the development of Bubble Memory.
A lagre bubble memory would requure large loops, so accessing a bit require cycling through a huge number of other bits first.

 Memory diagnostic arrangement - Patent 3982111
The arrangement of claim 16 wherein said memory comprises a plurality of memory planes each containing a plurality of said storage elements, and wherein said predetermined portion of said memory includes predetermined ones of said memory planes and said remaining portion of said memory includes the remaining ones of said memory planes.
Moreover, because such memories are often formed by combining a plurality of chips into arrays to form a plurality of memory planes, numerous decoders are required to indicate the column and row of the desired chip as well as the column and row of the desired cell within the chip to which access is desired.
Thus, each IGFET memory module, which comprises sufficient memory for storing 32,768 words, will operate over existing data and address buses and will communicate with the SPC in a manner substantially identical to that utilized by the old piggy-back twistor memories, which are described on page 2509 et seq.

Primary storage, or internal memory, is computer memory that is accessible to the central processing unit of a computer without the use of computer\'s input/output channels.
Primary storage may include several types of storage, such as main storage, cache memory, and special registers, all of which can be directly accessed by the processor.
