Definition of Core

core
1. <storage> Main memory or RAM. This term dates from the days of ferrite core memory; now archaic most places outside IBM, but also still used in the Unix community and by old-time hackers or those who would sound like them.
Some derived idioms are quite current; "in core", for example, means "in memory" (paged in, as opposed to "on disk", paged out), and both core dump and the "core image" or "core file" produced by one are terms in favour. Some varieties of Commonwealth hackish prefer store.

2. An integrated circuit design, usually for a microprocessor, which includes only the CPU and which is intended to form part of a complete circuit design which incorporates other circuits on the same chip such as cache, memory management unit, I/O ports and timers.
The ARM6, ARM7 and ARM8 are examples.
3. A varient on kernel as used to describe features built into a language as opposed to those provided by libraries.

core
n. Main storage or RAM. Dates from the days of ferrite-core memory; now archaic as techspeak most places outside IBM, but also still used in the Unix community and by old-time hackers or those who would sound like them. Some derived idioms are quite current; `in core', for example, means `in memory' (as opposed to `on disk'), and both core dump and the `core image' or `core file' produced by one are terms in favor. Some varieties of Commonwealth hackish prefer store.

Core
1. When referring to casting -- a sand unit placed inside of a mold so that when the metal is poured, the core will leave a hollow shape. 2. The magnetic center of a coil usually made of iron. 3. The primary part (engine block , alternator , starter , radiator , etc.) which has malfunctioned, but is still suitable for rebuilding or remanufacturing . You can exchange it for a new or rebuilt part. Thus, instead of paying full price for a new alternator, you can submit your old alternator as a core and pay a lower amount for the new alternator. "Core" is an abbreviation for "cash on return."

Core
1. The hght-conducting central portion of an optical fiber, composed of material with a higher index of refraction than the cladding. The portion of the fiber that transmits light. 2. The central part of an optical fiber, usually made from silica and surrounded by the lower refractive index cladding. Light travels along the core of an optical fiber.

core
1. The central region about the longitudinal axis of an optical fiber, which region supports guiding of the optical signal. (188 ) Note 1: For the fiber to guide the optical signal, the refractive index of the core must be slightly higher than that of the cladding. Note 2: In different types of fibers, the core and core-cladding boundary function slightly differently in guiding the signal. Especially in single-mode fibers, a significant fraction of the energy in the bound mode travels in the cladding. 2. A piece of ferromagnetic material, usually toroidal in shape, used as a component in a computer memory device. Note: The type of memory referred to has very limited application in today's computer environment. It has been largely replaced by semiconductor and other technologies. 3. The material at the center of an electromechanical relay or solenoid, about which the coil is wound. (188 )
