As in Random Access Memory? (I'm not sure of an application for memory that can only be accessed randomly).



It's not exactly random, but delay line memory[1] accesses are arbitrary with respect to where your program counter is or what youre trying to access- so the delay can appear "random"

As long as you can request all of it at once, it's useful.
