Noun

• S: (n) core, magnetic core ((computer science) a tiny ferrite toroid formerly used in a random access memory to store one bit of data; now superseded by semiconductor memories) "each core has three wires passing through it, providing the means to select and detect the contents of each bit"
• domain category
• S: (n) computer science, computing (the branch of engineering science that studies (with the aid of computers) computable processes and structures)
• direct hypernym / inherited hypernym / sister term
• S: (n) torus, toroid (a ring-shaped surface generated by rotating a circle around an axis that does not intersect the circle)
• S: (n) round shape (a shape that is curved and without sharp angles)
• S: (n) shape, form (the spatial arrangement of something as distinct from its substance) "geometry is the mathematical science of shape"
• S: (n) attribute (an abstraction belonging to or characteristic of an entity)
• direct hyponym / full hyponym
• direct hypernym / inherited hypernym / sister term
• S: (n) abstraction, abstract entity (a general concept formed by extracting common features from specific examples)
• S: (n) entity (that which is perceived or known or inferred to have its own distinct existence (living or nonliving))
• part holonym
• S: (n) magnetic core memory, core memory ((computer science) a computer memory consisting of an array of magnetic cores; now superseded by semiconductor memories)
• S: (n) random-access memory, random access memory, random memory, RAM, read/write memory (the most common computer memory which can be used by programs to perform necessary tasks while the computer is on; an integrated circuit memory chip allows information to be stored or accessed in any order and all storage locations are equally accessible)
