Why Buffer? Because buffers cut you some slack. Inevitably, in our recent series on microcontroller interrupts, the question of how to deal with actual serial data came up. In those examples, we were ...

As data streaming continues to balloon out of control, managing the processing of that data is becoming more important and more difficult. Data buffering is gaining ground as a way to speed up the ...

A clock distribution IC does not independently generate a clock signal; as such, phase noise cannot be measured unless an input is applied. The term most commonly used to quantify the quality of a ...

The readv () and writev () solve this problem easily. Instead of handling a single data buffer at a time, they take an array of records, each of which represents a distinct buffer. These buffers are ...

Part 2 shows how to tune internal and external memory, as well as how to manage external bus access, DMA transfers, and interrupts. Let us now elaborate on some memory and DMA discussions from earlier ...

Internet buffers are data buffers for streaming media. These buffers download the data while you watch online videos or listen to online audio. The buffers prevent the streaming media from constantly ...

A buffer is a sequence of bytes in memory and buffering is the manipulation of data residing in memory. In .NET buffering refers to the manipulation of the unmanaged memory, which is represented as an ...

First disclosed in January 2018, the Meltdown and Spectre attacks have opened the floodgates, leading to extensive research into the speculative execution hardware found in modern processors, and a ...
