  2. Windows File Recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_File_Recovery

    Windows File Recovery is a command-line software utility from Microsoft to recover deleted files. [1] [2] It is freely available for Windows 10 version 2004 (May 2020 Update) and later from the Microsoft Store. [3] Windows File Recovery can recover files from a local hard disk drive (HDD), USB flash drive, or memory card such as an SD card.

  3. Memory leak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak

    where memory is very limited, such as in an embedded system or portable device, or where the program requires a very large amount of memory to begin with, leaving little margin for leaks; where a leak occurs within the operating system or memory manager; when a system device driver causes a leak

  4. Virtual memory compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory_compression

    By reducing the I/O activity caused by paging requests, virtual memory compression can produce overall performance improvements. The degree of performance improvement depends on a variety of factors, including the availability of any compression co-processors, spare bandwidth on the CPU, speed of the I/O channel, speed of the physical memory, and the compressibility of the physical memory ...

  5. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

    Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me use a similar file, and the settings for it are located under Control Panel → System → Performance tab → Virtual Memory. Windows automatically sets the size of the page file to start at 1.5× the size of physical memory, and expand up to 3× physical memory if necessary.

  6. Memory management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_management

    Memory management (also dynamic memory management, dynamic storage allocation, or dynamic memory allocation) is a form of resource management applied to computer memory.The essential requirement of memory management is to provide ways to dynamically allocate portions of memory to programs at their request, and free it for reuse when no longer needed.

  7. Windows Display Driver Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Display_Driver_Model

    WDDM drivers allow video memory to be virtualized, [6] and video data to be paged out of video memory into system RAM. In case the video memory available turns out to be insufficient to store all the video data and textures, currently unused data is moved out to system RAM or to the disk. When the swapped out data is needed, it is fetched back.

  8. Chipkill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipkill

    Chipkill is frequently combined with dynamic bit-steering, so that if a chip fails (or has exceeded a threshold of bit errors), another, spare, memory chip is used to replace the failed chip. The concept is similar to that of RAID , which protects against disk failure, except that now the concept is applied to individual memory chips.

  9. Memory management unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_management_unit

    A 68451 MMU, which could be used with the Motorola 68010. A memory management unit (MMU), sometimes called paged memory management unit (PMMU), [1] is a computer hardware unit that examines all memory references on the memory bus, translating these requests, known as virtual memory addresses, into physical addresses in main memory.
