remapped

Remapped is the past participle of remap, describing something whose mapping between two sets has been changed or reapplied. The term is used across disciplines to indicate a modification in how inputs, outputs, addresses, or coordinates are associated with one another. In computing and digital technology, remapping commonly refers to reassigning controls or reconfiguring data mappings. Keyboard remapping changes which key triggers a given action, while macro or automation remapping binds sequences to different commands. Data remapping, often part of data integration, formats or reorients fields from one schema to another.

In memory and hardware contexts, remapping describes adjusting address spaces or resource mappings so software or firmware can access memory or I/O resources. Examples include memory remapping in systems with noncontiguous memory, PCIe address translation, and IOMMU-based interrupt remapping, which helps protect memory from unauthorized device access and supports virtualization.

In geographic information systems and graphics, remapping or reprojection means transforming coordinates from one reference system to another, or resampling raster data to a different grid. In networking, address remapping can refer to redirection or translation of traffic from one address to another, similar in effect to network address translation in broader use.

Remapped configurations are typically employed for compatibility, security, optimization, or user customization. Because the term spans software and hardware, it is applied whenever an existing mapping is replaced with a new one to alter behavior, performance, or accessibility.
