• Cache
A memory area of the processor. The processor can access data from its cache faster
than it can access data from system RAM or mass storage devices.
Many processors have a primary cache and a secondary cache. When searching for
information, the processor first refers to the primary cache. If it cannot find the
required information, it will then refer to the secondary cache.
See also blocking cache and non-blocking cache.
• Contiguous memory
A block of physical memory occupying a single, consecutive series of locations.
• DDR3 SDRAM
Double data rate three synchronous dynamic random access memory. A type of RAM
used for image capture and processing.
See also RAM.
• DHCP

manually assign and manage unique IP addresses for all of the machines on a
network.
• DIMM
