In computer storage, a disk buffer (often ambiguously called a disk cache or a cache buffer) is the embedded memory in a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state...

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

the end of the previous line, after an ok prompt. There is no implied "flush-buffer" action in Forth's CR, as sometimes is in other programming languages...

output "Hello, world!" followed by a newline and standard output stream buffer flush. The following example creates a file called 'file.txt' and puts the...

A store barrier will flush the store buffer, ensuring all writes have been applied to that CPU's cache. A read barrier will flush the invalidation queue...

flushed to storage due to memory pressure, when the kernel decides to flush dirty buffers, or when the application performs the Unix sync system call, for...

"return-to-libc" attack is a computer security attack usually starting with a buffer overflow in which a subroutine return address on a call stack is replaced...

its final domed shape. Alternatively, the buck is hammered more or less flush with the structure in a counter-sunk hole. On cooling, the rivet contracted...

operating system reclaim memory; if finalization is required (e.g., to flush buffers), data loss can occur. Thus by not coupling resource management to object...

application and middleware efficiency and flexibility. Flush Control – applications can control flushing of pending commands before context switching – enabling...

will not occur either. This could include closing file descriptors, flushing buffers, or freeing heap-allocated memory. If the function in which setjmp...

A vertex buffer object (VBO) is an OpenGL feature that provides methods for uploading vertex data (position, normal vector, color, etc.) to the video device...

= x; // x and y use the same buffer. y += ", World!"; // Now y uses a different buffer; x still uses the same old buffer. In the PHP programming language...

Tools such as hdparm -F will instruct the HDD controller to flush the on-drive write cache buffer. The performance impact of turning caching off is so large...

system may also use some of main memory as filesystem write buffer, it may be called page buffer. Pages in the page cache modified after being brought in...

the algorithm sending premature packets, is by buffering up application writes then flushing the buffer: The user-level solution is to avoid write–write–read...

CUDA applications may experience interference when performing fence or flush operations due to memory ordering. Because the GPU cannot know which writes...

medications are added also has some buffering effect. Another solution administered intravenously as a buffering solution is sodium bicarbonate. Medications...

but do not meet the durability requirement by default because AutoFlush buffers changes in memory (including enlisted ambient transactions and explicit...

be paged out to disk means that it would become extremely inefficient to flush it, since it would have to be read back into physical memory only to be...
