In computer science, a data buffer (or just buffer) is a region of memory used to store data temporarily while it is being moved from one place to another...

science, a circular buffer, circular queue, cyclic buffer or ring buffer is a data structure that uses a single, fixed-size buffer as if it were connected...

A z-buffer, also known as a depth buffer, is a type of data buffer used in computer graphics to store the depth information of fragments. The values stored...

information security, a buffer overflow or buffer overrun is an anomaly whereby a program writes data to a buffer beyond the buffer's allocated memory, overwriting...

which is usually a fixed-length buffer. Stack buffer overflow bugs are caused when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than what...

buffering is the use of more than one buffer to hold a block of data, so that a "reader" will see a complete (though perhaps old) version of the data...

A stencil buffer is an extra data buffer, in addition to the color buffer and Z-buffer, found on modern graphics hardware. The buffer is per pixel and...

A translation lookaside buffer (TLB) is a memory cache that stores the recent translations of virtual memory addresses to physical memory addresses. It...

Look up buffer in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Buffer may refer to: Buffer gas, an inert or nonflammable gas Buffer solution, a solution used to prevent...

A memory buffer register (MBR) or memory data register (MDR) is the register in a computer's CPU that stores the data being transferred to and from the...

A write buffer is a type of data buffer that can be used to hold data being written from the cache to main memory or to the next cache in the memory hierarchy...

Electronic skip protection is a data buffer system used in some portable compact disc (CD) players and all MiniDisc (MD) units so that audio will not...

stack buffer overflow or stack buffer overrun occurs when a program writes to a memory address on the program's call stack outside of the intended data structure...

while deblocking is the process of extracting data from blocks. Blocked data is normally stored in a data buffer, and read or written a whole block at a time...

buffer in computer science is a dynamic array that allows efficient insertion and deletion operations clustered near the same location. Gap buffers are...

the memory address; any address can be transferred to any row data buffer. A row data buffer may be from 32 to 4096 bytes long, depending on the type of...

buffer is important in data transmission between connected systems. Buffers are used in registers (data storage device) and buses (data transferring device)...

computing, buffer underrun or buffer underflow is a state occurring when a buffer used for communicating between two devices or processes is fed with data at...
