Memorialism Memorialism is the belief held by many Christian denominations that the elements of bread and wine (or juice) in the Eucharist (more often referred to as The Lord's Supper by memorialists) are symbolic of the body and blood of Jesus, the feast being primarily a memorial meal. The theory comes largely from the work of Reformed theologian Huldrych Zwingli.

Memory In psychology, memory is an organism's ability to store, retain, and subsequently recall information. Although traditional studies of memory began in the realms of philosophy, the late nineteenth and early twentieth century put memory within the paradigms of cognitive psychology.
Memory (song) Memory is the showstopper song from the musical Cats sung by the character Grizabella, a one-time glamour cat who is now a shell of her former self. The song is a nostalgic remembrance of her glorious past and a declaration of her wishes to start a new life.
Memory address 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.
Memory and aging One of the key concerns of older adults is the experience of memory loss, especially as it is one of the hallmark symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. However, memory loss is qualitatively different in normal aging from the kind of memory loss associated with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's (Budson & Price, 2005).
Memory Alpha Memory Alpha (often abbreviated to MA) is a wiki that is an encyclopedic reference for topics related to the Star Trek fictional universe. Conceived by Harry Doddema and Dan Carlson in September 2003 and officially launched on December 5 of that year, it uses the wiki model and is hosted by Wikia, Inc.
Memory bandwidth Memory bandwidth is the rate at which data can be read from or stored into a semiconductor memory by a processor. Memory bandwidth is usually expressed in units of bytes/second, though this can vary for systems with natural data sizes that are not a multiple of the commonly used 8-bit bytes.
Memory barrier Memory barrier, also known as membar or memory fence, is a class of instructions which cause a central processing unit (CPU) to enforce an ordering constraint on memory operations issued before and after the barrier instruction.
Memory bound function Memory bound refers to a situation in which the time to complete a given computational problem is decided primarily by the amount of available memory to hold data. In other words, the limiting factor of solving a given problem is the memory access speed.
Memory box A memory box is a box provided by some hospitals in the event of a stillbirth, miscarriage, or other problem during or after childbirth. They contain various objects belonging to or representing the deceased child to help mothers deal with grief.
Memory buffer register The Memory Buffer Register (MBR) in the central processor that stores the data being transferred to and from the immediate access store. It acts as a buffer allowing the central processor and memory units to act independently without being affected by minor differences in operation.
Memory B cell Memory B cells are a B cell sub-type that are formed following primary infection. When a B cell is activated, by recognizing a specific antigen, it proliferates to form antibody producing plasma cells and long-lived memory cells.
Memory Beta Memory Beta is a collaborative Wiki project that features articles on the Star Trek fictional universe. Unlike Memory Alpha, Memory Beta has a much broader canon policy, with novels, comics and computer games joining the episodes and films.

Memory card A memory card or flash memory card is a solid-state electronic flash memory data storage device used with digital cameras, handheld and laptop computers, telephones, music players, video game consoles, and other electronics. They offer high re-recordability, power-free storage, small form factor, and rugged environmental specifications.
Memory corruption Memory corruption happens when content of a memory location are unintentionally modified due to programming errors. When the corrupted memory contents are used later in the computer program, it leads either to program crash or to strange and bizarre program behavior.
Memory debugger A memory debugger is a programming tool for finding memory leaks and buffer overflows. These are symptoms for design mistakes or programming errors (bugs) related to the allocation and deallocation of dynamic memory.
Memory dependence prediction Memory dependence prediction is a technique, employed by high-performance out-of-order execution microprocessors that execute memory access operations (loads and stores) out of program order, to predict true dependences between loads and stores at instruction execution time. With the predicted dependence information, the processor can then decide to speculatively execute certain loads and stores out of order, while preventing other loads and stores from executing out-of-order (keeping them in-order).
Memory disambiguation Memory disambiguation is a set of techniques employed by high-performance out-of-order execution microprocessors that execute memory access instructions (loads and stores) out of program order. The mechanisms for performing memory disambiguation, implemented using digital logic inside the microprocessor core, detect true dependencies between memory operations at execution time and allow the processor to recover when a dependence has been violated.
Memory disorder There are several different types of memory disorders which occur in the human mind. Among these are less severe disorders including minor short term memory loss, and the eventually incapacitating Alzheimer's Disease.
Memory distrust syndrome As source amnesia prohibits recollection of the context-specific information surrounding facts in experienced events, there is also the inclusive case of confusion concerning the content or context of events, a highly attributable factor to confabulation in brain disease. Such confusion has been loosely termed memory distrust syndrome by Gudjonsson and MacKeith in 1982.

Memory latency In computing, memory latency is the time between initiating a request for a byte or word in memory until it is retrieved. If the data are not in the processor's cache, it takes longer to obtain them, as the processor will have to communicate with the external memory cells.
Memory leak In computer science, a memory leak is a particular kind of unintentional memory consumption by a computer program where the program fails to release memory when no longer needed. The term is meant as a humorous misnomer, since memory is not physically lost from the computer.
Memory locality Memory locality (or data locality) is a term in computer science used to denote the temporal or spatial proximity of memory access in computer programs. There are two basic types of locality of memory reference: temporal and spatial:
Memory management Memory management is the act of managing computer memory. In its simpler forms, this involves providing ways to allocate portions of memory to programs at their request, and freeing it for reuse when no longer needed.
Memory management unit MMU, short for memory management unit or sometimes called paged memory management unit as PMMU, is a class of computer hardware components responsible for handling memory accesses requested by the CPU. Among the functions of such devices are the translation of virtual addresses to physical addresses (i.

Memory Pool System The Memory Pool System (MPS) is a flexible and modular memory management system that was developed by Harlequin to support both their ScriptWorks PostScript RIP, and their Harlequin Dylan compiler and IDE for the Dylan programming language. As such it was designed to support a wide range of requirements from high-speed manual memory management, to complex garbage collection with many different types of reference.
Memory refresh Memory refresh is the process of periodically reading information from an area of computer memory, and immediately rewriting the read information to the same area with no modifications. Each memory refresh cycle refreshes a succeeding area of memory.
Memory scrubbing Memory scrubbing is a process in which a memory controller reads memory during idle periods and corrects single bit errors and writes the content back to the memory to prevent single bit errors adding up into non-correctable multiple bit errors.
Memory segment On the Intel x86 architecture, a memory segment is the portion of memory which may be addressed by a single index register without changing a 16-bit segment selector. In real mode or V86 mode, a segment is always 64 kibibytes in size (using 16-bit index registers).

Memory T cells Memory T cells are a specific type of infection-fighting T cell (also known as a T lymphocyte) that can recognize foreign invaders such as bacteria or viruses, that were encountered during a prior infection or vaccination. At a second encounter with the invader, memory T cells can reproduce to mount a faster and stronger immune response than the first time the immune system responded to the invader.
Memory-disk synchronization Memory-disk synchronisation is a process used in computers that immediately writes to disk any data queued for writing in volatile memory. Data is often held in this way for efficiency's sake, since writing to disk is a much slower process than writing to RAM.
Memory-footprint A program's memory footprint is the extent of main memory (RAM space) that it uses or references while executing – this includes all sorts of active memory regions like code, static data sections (both initialized and uninitialized), heap, as well as all the stacks (as many as the number of threads) plus memory required to hold any additional data structures, such as symbol tables, constant tables, debugging structures, open files, etc, that the program ever needs while executing and will be loaded at least once during the entire run. The larger the program the larger will be the memory footprint; however, often it is not the program itself that makes up the entire footprint, but also involves structures introduced by the run-time environment, for e.
Memory-mapped I/O Memory-mapped I/O (MMIO) and port I/O (also called port-mapped I/O or PMIO) are two complementary methods of performing input/output between the CPU and I/O devices in a computer. Another method is using dedicated I/O processors (channels, used in IBM mainframe computers).
Memory-prediction framework The memory-prediction framework is a theory of brain function that was created by Jeff Hawkins and described in his book On Intelligence. This theory concerns the role of the human neocortex and its associations with the hippocampus and the thalamus in matching sensory inputs to stored memory patterns and how this process leads to predictions of what will happen in the future.
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is Tad Williams's epic fantasy trilogy, comprising The Dragonbone Chair (1988), Stone of Farewell (1990) and To Green Angel Tower (1993). The paperback publication of To Green Angel Tower was divided into two volumes, so the majority of Williams' readers may consider Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn more properly called a tetralogy than a trilogy.
