  2. sync (Unix) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sync_(Unix)

    The related system call fsync() commits just the buffered data relating to a specified file descriptor. [1] fdatasync() is also available to write out just the changes made to the data in the file, and not necessarily the file's related metadata. [2] Some Unix systems run a kind of flush or update daemon, which calls the sync function on a ...

  3. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    In semiconductor devices, problems in the device package may cause failures due to contamination, mechanical stress of the device, or open or short circuits. Failures most commonly occur near the beginning and near the ending of the lifetime of the parts, resulting in the bathtub curve graph of failure rates.

  4. Chipkill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipkill

    Chipkill is frequently combined with dynamic bit-steering, so that if a chip fails (or has exceeded a threshold of bit errors), another, spare, memory chip is used to replace the failed chip. The concept is similar to that of RAID , which protects against disk failure, except that now the concept is applied to individual memory chips.

  5. List of cache coherency protocols - Wikipedia

    Protocol MOESI type – Data stored in M (D) or in O (SD) and the other caches in S (V) – Data is sent to the requesting cache from the "owner" M (D) or O (SD). The requesting cache is set S (V) while M (D) is changed in O (SD). – The MM is not updated. Protocols MESI type and MEI – Data stored in M (D) and the other caches in S (V) state

  6. DeviceNet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeviceNet

    DeviceNet is a network protocol used in the automation industry to interconnect control devices for data exchange. It utilizes the Common Industrial Protocol over a Controller Area Network media layer and defines an application layer to cover a range of device profiles.

  7. Audio-to-video synchronization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio-to-video_synchronization

    Presentation time stamps (PTS) are embedded in MPEG transport streams to precisely signal when each audio and video segment is to be presented and avoid AV-sync errors. . However, these timestamps are often added after the video undergoes frame synchronization, format conversion and preprocessing, and thus the lip sync errors created by these operations will not be corrected by the addition ...

  8. Device mapper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_mapper

    The device mapper is a framework provided by the Linux kernel for mapping physical block devices onto higher-level virtual block devices.It forms the foundation of the logical volume manager (LVM), software RAIDs and dm-crypt disk encryption, and offers additional features such as file system snapshots.

  9. F2FS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS

    If a file is linked, F2FS may loose its parent inode number so that fsync calls for the linked file need to perform the checkpoint every time. But, if the pino can be recovered after the checkpoint, roll-forward mechanism for the further fsync calls can be adjusted, which improves the fsync performance significantly. 3.11: N/A
