The Z-buffer is a technology used in almost all contemporary computers, laptops, and mobile phones for performing 3D computer graphics. The primary use now is for video games, which require fast and accurate processing of 3D scenes. The Z-buffer is implemented in hardware within consumer graphics cards. The Z-buffer is also used (implemented as ...
Bufferbloat is a cause of high latency and jitter in packet-switched networks caused by excess buffering of packets. Bufferbloat can also cause packet delay variation (also known as jitter), as well as reduce the overall network throughput. When a router or switch is configured to use excessively large buffers, even very high-speed networks can ...

SEOUL/SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Samsung Electronics' latest high bandwidth memory (HBM) chips have yet to pass Nvidia's tests for use in the U.S. firm's AI processors due to heat and power consumption ...
Multiple buffering. Sets 1, 2 and 3 represent the operation of single, double and triple buffering, respectively, with vertical synchronization (vsync) enabled. In each graph, time flows from left to right. Note that 3 shows a swap chain with three buffers; the original definition of triple buffering would throw away frame C as soon as frame D ...
Millennials, also known as Generation Y (often shortened to Gen Y), are the demographic cohort following Generation X and preceding Generation Z.Researchers and popular media use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years, with the generation typically being defined as people born from 1981 to 1996.
