The functional blocks (the application-specific integrated circuit display driver, 2D and 3D acceleration and video decoding and encoding) are separate semiconductor intellectual property (SIP) blocks on the chip, since hardware devices vary substantially; some portable media players require a display driver that accelerates video decoding, but ...
A driver communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware connects. When a calling program invokes a routine in the driver, the driver issues commands to the device (drives it). Once the device sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in the original calling program.

This seems to us a necessary first step toward better communicating with students and parents about the true cost of supporting intercollegiate sports. —Ben Hallman and Shane Shifflett. Methodology
Driver Verifier is a tool included in Microsoft Windows that replaces the default operating system subroutines with ones that are specifically developed to catch device driver bugs. [1] Once enabled, it monitors and stresses drivers to detect illegal function calls or actions that may be causing system corruption.
[179] [236] [237] After a tracheotomy in 1985, Hawking required a full-time nurse and nursing care was split across three shifts daily.
