In a current trend of SoC design, ICs are becoming more and more complex so the challenges of meeting all the design requirements have become increasingly difficult. Noise becomes prominent in lower ...

A data buffering scheme improves the performance of solid-state drives in large-scale, data-intensive applications. Solid-state drives (SSDs) store digital information using electronic circuits. The ...

I'm a big fan of Citrix Provisioning Services, both in streamed VMs and in streaming to physical desktops or servers. That being said, tweaking PVS for optimal performance is an important part of a ...

As data streaming continues to balloon out of control, managing the processing of that data is becoming more important and more difficult. Data buffering is gaining ground as a way to speed up the ...

Several years ago, I was on vacation in the Black Hills of South Dakota with my wife Kathy and two of our grandchildren. We had just passed the heads of the presidents on Mount Rushmore when a small ...

Spiraling network line rates, presently hitting up to 10 Gbit/second, are approaching the performance limits of the packet buffers in today's datacom line cards. For its part, buffer-memory ...

In a nutshell: AMD has quietly disabled the Loop Buffer feature in its processors through an AGESA microcode update. This unannounced change impacts all Zen 4 CPUs, including the Ryzen 7000 series and ...

A fan-out buffer is used in timing applications that require multiple copies of a clock signal to be distributed. When choosing the right fan-out buffer for a timing application, it’s usually helpful ...
