4 results about "Multiple buffering" patented technology

In computer science, multiple buffering is the use of more than one buffer to hold a block of data, so that a "reader" will see a complete (though perhaps old) version of the data, rather than a partially updated version of the data being created by a "writer". It is also used to avoid the need to use dual-ported RAM (DPRAM) when the readers and writers are different devices.
