  2. Memory address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_address

    Memory address. In a computer using virtual memory, accessing the location corresponding to a memory address may involve many levels. In computing, a memory address is a reference to a specific memory location used at various levels by software and hardware. [1] Memory addresses are fixed-length sequences of digits conventionally displayed and ...

  3. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life. Every cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane; many cells contain organelles, each with a specific function. The term comes from the Latin word cellula meaning 'small room'. Most cells are only visible under a microscope.

  4. Dynamic random-access memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_random-access_memory

    Dynamic random-access memory (dynamic RAM or DRAM) is a type of random-access semiconductor memory that stores each bit of data in a memory cell, usually consisting of a tiny capacitor and a transistor, both typically based on metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) technology. While most DRAM memory cell designs use a capacitor and transistor ...

  5. Physical address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_address

    Diagram of relationship between the virtual and physical address spaces. In computing, a physical address (also real address, or binary address), is a memory address that is represented in the form of a binary number on the address bus circuitry in order to enable the data bus to access a particular storage cell of main memory, or a register of memory-mapped I/O device.

  6. CW complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CW_complex

    S n {\displaystyle S^ {n}} a CW decomposition with two cells in every dimension k such that. 0 ≤ k ≤ n {\displaystyle 0\leq k\leq n} . The n-dimensional real projective space. It admits a CW structure with one cell in each dimension. The terminology for a generic 2-dimensional CW complex is a shadow.

  7. Endoplasmic reticulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoplasmic_reticulum

    Dark small circles in the network are mitochondria. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a part of a transportation system of the eukaryotic cell, and has many other important functions such as protein folding. It is a type of organelle made up of two subunits – rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).

  8. Logical address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_address

    Logical address. In computing, a logical address is the address at which an item ( memory cell, storage element, network host) appears to reside from the perspective of an executing application program. A logical address may be different from the physical address due to the operation of an address translator or mapping function.

  9. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)

    In computer science, a pointer is an object in many programming languages that stores a memory address. This can be that of another value located in computer memory, or in some cases, that of memory-mapped computer hardware. A pointer references a location in memory, and obtaining the value stored at that location is known as dereferencing the ...
