A frame refers to a storage frame or central storage frame. In terms of physical memory, it is a fixed sized block in physical memory space, or a block of central storage. In computer architecture, frames are analogous to logical address space pages.

Techopedia Explains Frame

One frame equals four kilobytes - the same size as a page or slot. In IBM’s z/OS, active z/OS program parts are placed and run in central storage frames, whereas inactive programs are placed in auxiliary slots. However, all program parts - whether active or inactive - have virtual storage addresses in virtual pages.
