  Memory address register - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The memory address register is the register of a computer's control unit that contains the address of a register to fetch or store from or to the computer storage.
The memory address register is half of a minimal interface between a microprogram and computer storage.
The other half is a memory data register.

Address 12, which is assigned to memory cell V, indicates that indirect addressing of a memory cell is to be effected from address registers 111 and 112.
Address 13, which is assigned to memory cell W, indicated indirect addressing and subsequent modification of the contents of the address register 112 by downward counting.
The memory cells X and Y of the read/write memory 110 serve to indirectly address are read-out memory, a read/write memory or the peripheral modules of further chips.

 MEMORY MANAGEMENT
An address generated by the CPU is commonly referred to as a logical address, whereas an address seen by the memory unit (that is, the one loaded into the memory address register of the memory) is commonly referred to as physical address.
The set of all logical addresses generated by a program is referred to as a logical address space; the set of all physical addresses corresponding to these logical addresses is referred to as a physical address space.
Memory is allocated to the processes until, finally, the memory requirements of the next process cannot be satisfied; no available block of memory (hole) is large enough to hold that process.

 Data processing system having a CPU register file and a memory address register separate therefrom - Patent 4133028
The output of the arithmetic-logic unit is connected to the memory address register and to a shifter unit, the shifted output thereupon being connected to the second write port of the register file.
Further, in the register file, the register previously used for memory addresses thereby becomes available for other uses so that together with the two temporary registers available in the previously described system, three such registers are now available for use to provide for the implementation of a greater number of processing instructions.
The output of the ALU 23 is appropriately fed to a shifter unit 26, the output of which is fixedly connected to the 2W port of the register file 20, and to the memory address register 21.

The MAR is a register which is used as a gateway - a `buffer' - onto the address bus.
The memory is considered to be a collection of cells or locations, each of which can be addressed individually, and thus written to or read from.
For brevity, we shall refer to this memory `array' as M and the address of a general cell as x and so, the contents of the cell at address x as M[x], or m[x].
