  2. Data buffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_buffer

    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. Typically, the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device (such as a microphone) or just before it is sent to an output device (such as speakers); however, a buffer may be used when data is moved between processes ...

  3. WebSocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket

    May be changed to "arraybuffer" (ArrayBuffer object). Read-only attribute ws.url: The URL given to the WebSocket constructor. ws.bufferedAmount: The number of bytes waiting to be transmitted. ws.protocol: The protocol accepted by the server, or an empty string if the client did not specify protocols in the WebSocket constructor. ws.extensions

  4. asm.js - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asmjs

    In the generated code, the variable MEM8 is actually a byte-by-byte "view" of a typed buffer, which serves as the "heap" of the asm.js code. Performance Since asm.js ...

  5. Protocol Buffers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_Buffers

    A schema for a particular use of protocol buffers associates data types with field names, using integers to identify each field. (The protocol buffer data contains only the numbers, not the field names, providing some bandwidth/storage savings compared with systems that include the field names in the data.)

  6. Buffer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow

    Visualization of a software buffer overflow. Data is written into A, but is too large to fit within A, so it overflows into B.. In programming and 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 adjacent memory locations.

  7. Buffer credits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_credits

    Buffer credits, also called buffer-to-buffer credits (BBC) are used as a flow control method by Fibre Channel technology and represent the number of frames a port can store. Each time a port transmits a frame that port's BB Credit is decremented by one; for each R_RDY received, that port's BB Credit is incremented by one.

  8. Stack buffer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_buffer_overflow

    Stack buffer overflow is a type of the more general programming malfunction known as buffer overflow (or buffer overrun). [1] Overfilling a buffer on the stack is more likely to derail program execution than overfilling a buffer on the heap because the stack contains the return addresses for all active function calls.

  9. Memory corruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_corruption

    Buffer overflow is one of the most common programming flaws exploited by computer viruses, causing serious computer security issues (e.g. return-to-libc attack, stack-smashing protection) in widely used programs. In some cases programs can also incorrectly access the memory before the start of a buffer.
