A specific location where data is temporarily stored in RAM.

A specific location, usually expressed as a hexadecimal number, in the computer's RAM.

A memory address is either a sparse space or dense space address that performs a memory cycle on a specific bus. See also dense space address and sparse space address.

The computer assigns numbers or addresses to physical memory locations on boot up to keep track of the information that the CPU has access to. This process is referred to as Memory Mapping.

A portion of computer memory that can be allocated to a device or used by a program or the operating system. Devices are usually allocated a range of memory addresses. See also: device

In computer science, a memory address is a unique identifier for a memory location at which a CPU or other device can store a piece of data for later retrieval. In modern byte-addressable computers, each address identifies a single byte of storage; data too large to be stored in a single byte may reside in multiple bytes occupying a sequence of consecutive addresses. Some microprocessors were designed to be word-addressable, so that the typical storage unit was actually larger than a byte.
