Real RAM

In computing, especially computational geometry, a Real RAM (random access machine) is a computing machine that implements real numbers in the mathematical sense (i.e., as being continuous rather than discrete entities) rather than the typical computing implementation (e.g., IEEE 754). Brattka and Hertling [1] described a theoretical implementation based on a Turing machine.
