hyperspace
(gcide) | hyperspace \hy"per*space\ (h[imac]"p[~e]r*sp[=a]s), n. [Pref.
hyper- + space.] (Geom.)
A mathematical space having more than three dimensions. It is
a mathematical construct and is not intended to represent the
structure of the common physical space in which matter
exists.
[1913 Webster +PJC] |
hyperspace
(foldoc) | hyperspace
/hi:'per-spays/ A memory location that is *far* away from
where the program counter should be pointing, often
inaccessible because it is not even mapped in. (Compare {jump
off into never-never land}.)
This usage is from the SF notion of a spaceship jumping "into
hyperspace", that is, taking a shortcut through
higher-dimensional space - in other words, bypassing this
universe. The variant "east hyperspace" is recorded among
CMU and Bliss hackers.

hyperspace
(jargon) | hyperspace
/hi:'per·spays/, n.
A memory location that is far away from where the program counter should be
pointing, especially a place that is inaccessible because it is not even
mapped in by the virtual-memory system. “Another core dump — looks like the
program jumped off to hyperspace somehow.” (Compare {jump off into
never-never land}.) This usage is from the SF notion of a spaceship jumping
into hyperspace, that is, taking a shortcut through higher-dimensional
space — in other words, bypassing this universe. The variant east
hyperspace is recorded among CMU and Bliss hackers.
