In computer science, a memory map is a structure of data (which usually resides in memory itself) that indicates how memory is laid out. It contains the information regarding the size of total memory, and may also provide other details specific to the architecture.

Memory maps are usually created by the firmware in order to instruct an operating system kernel about memory layout.
