In computing, especially computational geometry, a Real RAM (random access machine) is a computational model that operates with real numbers in the mathematical sense,[1] as opposed to standard computers that support only approximate computations with floating-point arithmetic (e.g., IEEE 754), or exact arithmetic which is restricted to integer or rational numbers. Not to be confused with RAM (random access memory). Brattka and Hertling described a theoretical implementation based on a Turing machine.[2]

The model is sometimes referred to as Blum–Shub–Smale machine and the two models are equivalent.
