The physical location on a motherboard where a memory module can be inserted.
A logical unit of memory in a computer, the size of which the CPU determines. For example, a 32-bit CPU requires memory banks that provide 32 bits of information at a time. A bank can consist of one or more memory modules.
Part of (cache) memory that is addressed consecutively in the total set of memory banks, i.e., when data item a(n) is stored in bank , data item a(n+1) is stored in bank b+1. (Cache) memory is divided in banks to evade the effects of the bank cycle time (see above). When data is stored or retrieved consecutively each bank has enough time to recover before the next request for that bank arrives.
Memory Bank was a daytime gameshow which was shown on Five in the UK. It featured several rounds of memory themed games. In the final round the contestant was shown fifteen words and each word remembered was worth a cash prize.
