core
     
        1.  {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}.
     
        [{Jargon File}]
     
        (1995-03-03)
     
        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}.
