Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) clearly represent the greatest potential bottleneck to efficient data transfer across the network today. Over the past few years, the emergence of Dense Wavelength ...

Ring buffers are incredibly useful data structures that allow for data to be written and read continuously without having to worry about where the data is being written to or read from. Although they ...

A clock distribution IC does not independently generate a clock signal; as such, phase noise cannot be measured unless an input is applied. The term most commonly used to quantify the quality of a ...

Pushing the envelope of Albert Einstein's "spooky action at a distance," known as entanglement, researchers have demonstrated a "quantum buffer" -- a technique that could be used to control the data ...

NERSC reports that it has selected a number of HPC research projects to participate in the center’s new Burst Buffer Early User Program. For the first time, users will be able to test and run their ...

Why Buffer? Because buffers cut you some slack. Inevitably, in our recent series on microcontroller interrupts, the question of how to deal with actual serial data came up. In those examples, we were ...
