Memory-hardness is a property that, if proven to be possesed, makes an algorithm "immune" to time-memory tradeoffs, by "punishing" memory reductions. Usually algorithms possesing this property can't easily be computed with significantly less memory than intended by the author without accepting a severe performance penalty. This property is often used to counter ASICs and FPGAs for password-hashing.

What does "sequential memory-hard" mean?
The Scrypt paper here defines memory-hard and sequential memory hard, and accordingly explains why one was used over the other.
Definition 1. A memory-hard algorithm on a Random Access Machine is an …

Is Argon2 "sequential memory hard"?
The Scrypt paper here defines memory-hard and sequential memory hard functions as follows:
Definition 1. A memory-hard algorithm on a Random Access Machine is an algorithm which uses $S(n)$ space and …
