  2. Dual-ported video RAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-ported_video_RAM

    Dual-ported video RAM (VRAM) is a dual-ported RAM variant of dynamic RAM (DRAM), which was once commonly used to store the Framebuffer in Graphics card, Dual-ported RAM allows the CPU to read and write data to memory as if it were a conventional DRAM chip, while adding a second port that reads out data.

  3. Video random-access memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_random-access_memory

    Video random-access memory (VRAM) is dedicated computer memory used to store the pixels and other graphics data as a framebuffer to be rendered on a computer monitor. [1] It often uses a different technology than other computer memory, in order to be read quickly for display on a screen.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mac_models_grouped...

    The PowerPC 970 ("G5") was the first 64-bit Mac processor. The PowerPC 970MP was the first dual-core Mac processor and the first to be found in a quad-core configuration. It was also the first Mac processor with partitioning and virtualization capabilities. Apple only used three variants of the G5, and soon moved entirely onto Intel architecture.

  5. Windows Display Driver Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Display_Driver_Model

    The display driver model from Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone have converged into a unified model for Windows 10. [43] A new memory model is implemented that gives each GPU a per-process virtual address space. Direct addressing of video memory is still supported by WDDMv2 for graphics hardware that requires it, but that is considered a legacy case.

  6. 64-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing

    The term 64-bit also describes a generation of computers in which 64-bit processors are the norm. 64 bits is a word size that defines certain classes of computer architecture, buses, memory, and CPUs and, by extension, the software that runs on them. 64-bit CPUs have been used in supercomputers since the 1970s (Cray-1, 1975) and in reduced ...

  7. Shared graphics memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_graphics_memory

    A notable exception was the IBM PC. Graphics display was facilitated by the use of an expansion card with its own memory plugged into an ISA slot. The first IBM PC to use the SMA was the IBM PCjr, released in 1984. Video memory was shared with the first 128 KiB of RAM. The exact size of the video memory could be reconfigured by software to meet ...

  9. Graphics address remapping table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_address_remapping...

    A GART is used as a means of data exchange between the main memory and video memory through which buffers (i.e. paging/swapping) of textures, polygon meshes and other data are loaded, but can also be used to expand the amount of video memory available for systems with only integrated or shared graphics (i.e. no discrete or inbuilt graphics ...
