  2. Core dump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_dump

    A snapshot dump (or snap dump) is a memory dump requested by the computer operator or by the running program, after which the program is able to continue. Core dumps are often used to assist in diagnosing and debugging errors in computer programs.

  3. Framebuffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framebuffer

    As the demand for better graphics increased, hardware manufacturers created a way to decrease the amount of CPU time required to fill the framebuffer. This is commonly called graphics acceleration. Common graphics drawing commands (many of them geometric) are sent to the graphics accelerator in their raw form.

  4. Video random-access memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_random-access_memory

    GDDR5X SDRAM on an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card. 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.

    Graphics represented as a rectangular grid of pixels. Rasterization Converting vector graphics to raster graphics. This terms also denotes a common method of rendering 3D models in real time. Ray casting Rendering by casting non-recursive rays from the camera into the scene. 2D ray casting is a 2.5D rendering method. Ray marching

  6. Frame grabber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_grabber

    It is usually employed as a component of a computer vision system, in which video frames are captured in digital form and then displayed, stored, transmitted, analyzed, or combinations of these. Historically, frame grabber expansion cards were the predominant way to interface cameras to PCs.

  7. File carving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_carving

    Snapshots of computers' volatile memory (i.e. RAM) can be carved. Memory-dump carving is routinely used in digital forensics, allowing investigators to access ephemeral evidence. Ephemeral evidence includes recently accessed images and Web pages, documents, chats and communications committed via social networks.

  8. Dumper (computer program) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumper_(computer_program)

    In computer programming, a dumper is a program which copies data from one source (usually a proprietary format) to another (usually in a more easily accessible format). [1] A dumper is a program that saves data from the computer's memory, usually from a foreign process to a (*.dmp) file. Often the process's memory is dumped automatically to ...

  9. Data buffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_buffer

    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 ...
