Read and write addresses are initially both at the first memory location and the FIFO queue is empty. In both cases, the read and write addresses end up being equal. To distinguish between the two situations, a simple and robust solution is to add one extra bit for each read and write address which is inverted each time the address wraps. With ...
Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines, or queues. [1] A queueing model is constructed so that queue lengths and waiting time can be predicted. [1] Queueing theory is generally considered a branch of operations research because the results are often used when making business decisions about the resources needed to provide a ...
Circular buffering makes a good implementation strategy for a queue that has fixed maximum size. Should a maximum size be adopted for a queue, then a circular buffer is a completely ideal implementation; all queue operations are constant time. However, expanding a circular buffer requires shifting memory, which is comparatively costly.
In computer science, a data buffer (or just buffer) is a region of memory used to store data temporarily while it is being moved from one place to another. Typically, the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device (such as a microphone) or just before it is sent to an output device (such as speakers); however, a buffer may be used when data is moved between processes ...
In Kendall's notation, the M/M/1/K queuing model, where K is the size of the buffer, may be used to analyze the queuing delay in a specific system. Kendall's notation should be used to calculate the queuing delay when packets are dropped from the queue. The M/M/1/K queuing model is the most basic and important queuing model for network analysis ...
A bounded queue is a queue limited to a fixed number of items. [1] There are several efficient implementations of FIFO queues. An efficient implementation is one that can perform the operations—en-queuing and de-queuing—in O(1) time. Linked list. A doubly linked list has O(1) insertion and deletion at both ends, so it is a natural choice ...
The consequences of the re-order buffer include precise exceptions and easy rollback control of target address mis-predictions (branch or jump). When jump prediction is not correct or a nonrecoverable exception is encountered in the instruction stream, the ROB is cleared of all instructions (by setting the circular queue tail to the head) and ...
Queueing can be buffered in memory and hypothetically could be buffered to a storage device. Spooling is indeed a type of queueing, but (a) relates to printing and (b) uses disc as the queueing medium. If print lines are buffered in memory, they are queued but not spooled.--UnicornTapestry 02:21, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
