  2. Regional lockout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_lockout

    Like in the Mega Drive/Genesis, the use of a switch will circumvent the region-lock, but won't change the language. In addition, the use of certain unlicensed backup/RAM cartridges will also allow a console to play games from different regions, except for games that use proprietary ROM-RAM carts.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_from_Tarkov

    Escape from Tarkov is a multiplayer tactical first-person shooter video game in development by Battlestate Games for Microsoft Windows. The game is set in the fictional Norvinsk region in northwestern Russia , where a war is taking place between two private military companies (United Security "USEC" and the Battle Encounter Assault Regiment ...

  4. Average memory access time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_memory_access_time

    A model, called Concurrent-AMAT (C-AMAT), is introduced for more accurate analysis of current memory systems. More information on C-AMAT can be found in the external links section. AMAT's three parameters hit time (or hit latency), miss rate, and miss penalty provide a quick analysis of memory systems. Hit latency (H) is the time to hit in the ...

  5. 3 GB barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier

    Many 32-bit computers have 32 physical address bits and are thus limited to 4 GiB (2 32 words) of memory. [3] [4] x86 processors prior to the Pentium Pro have 32 or fewer physical address bits; however, most x86 processors since the Pentium Pro, which was first sold in 1995, have the Physical Address Extension (PAE) mechanism, [5]: 445 which allows addressing up to 64 GiB (2 36 words) of memory.

  6. Memory leak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak

    In computer science, a memory leak is a type of resource leak that occurs when a computer program incorrectly manages memory allocations [1] in a way that memory which is no longer needed is not released. A memory leak may also happen when an object is stored in memory but cannot be accessed by the running code (i.e. unreachable memory). [2]

  7. Virtual memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory

    Virtual memory combines active RAM and inactive memory on DASD [a] to form a large range of contiguous addresses.. In computing, virtual memory, or virtual storage, [b] is a memory management technique that provides an "idealized abstraction of the storage resources that are actually available on a given machine" [3] which "creates the illusion to users of a very large (main) memory".

  8. Bandwidth throttling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_throttling

    Limiting the speed of data sent by a data originator (a client computer or a server computer) is much more efficient than limiting the speed in an intermediate network device between client and server because while in the first case usually no network packets are lost, in the second case network packets can be lost / discarded whenever ingoing data speed overcomes the bandwidth limit or the ...

  9. Half-Life 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_2

    Half-Life 2 was created using Valve's Source game engine, which was developed simultaneously. Development lasted five years and cost US$40 million. Valve's president, Gabe Newell , set his team the goal of redefining the FPS genre.
