A core dump is a snapshot of the execution of a program at the moment it is aborted by the operating system (e.g. for attempting to violate the memory protection).
In computing, a core dump, more properly a memory dump or storage dump, consists of the recorded state of the working memory of a computer program at a specific time, generally when the program has terminated abnormally (crashed).
