  2. Multiple buffering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_buffering

    The term quad buffering is the use of double buffering for each of the left and right eye images in stereoscopic implementations, thus four buffers total (if triple buffering was used then there would be six buffers). The command to swap or copy the buffer typically applies to both pairs at once, so at no time does one eye see an older image ...

  3. Universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_asynchronous...

    It is a standard feature for a UART to store the most recent character while receiving the next. This "double buffering" gives a receiving computer an entire character transmission time to fetch a received character. Many UARTs have a small first-in, first-out buffer memory between the receiver shift register and the host system interface. This ...

  4. Swap chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swap_chain

    Triple Buffering may result in a frame being discarded without being displayed if two or more newer frames are completely rendered in the time it takes for one frame to be sent to the display. By contrast, Direct3D swap chains are a strict first-in, first-out queue , so every frame that is drawn by the application will be displayed even if ...

  5. Input–output memory management unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input–output_memory...

    Without an IOMMU, the operating system would have to implement time-consuming bounce buffers (also known as double buffers [3]). Memory is protected from malicious devices that are attempting DMA attacks and faulty devices that are attempting errant memory transfers because a device cannot read or write to memory that has not been explicitly ...

    Double buffering Using a dedicated buffer for rendering and copying the result to the screen buffer when finished. This prevents stutter on the screen and the user seeing rendering in progress. Drawcall A single rendering command submitted to a rendering API, referring to a single set of render states.

  7. 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 ...

  9. Flicker (screen) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_(screen)

    When it is not feasible to set each pixel only once, double buffering can be used. This creates an off-screen drawing surface, drawing to it (with as much flicker as you want), and then copying it all at once to the screen. The result is the visible pixels only change once.
