At its launch in November 2013, the Xbox One did not have native backward compatibility with original Xbox or Xbox 360 games. [3] [4] Xbox Live director of programming Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb suggested users could use the HDMI-in port on the console to pass an Xbox 360 or any other device with HDMI output [5] through Xbox One.
The top of the Xbox, disassembled. It uses a standard DVD-ROM and Hard-disk drive via Parallel ATA. Storage media 2×–5× (2.6 MB/s–6.6 MB/s) CAV DVD-ROM 8 or 10 GB, 3.5 in, 5,400 RPM hard disk formatted to 8 GB with FATX file system
The new chip can work at up to 7 GHz effective clock-speed and will be used in graphics cards and other high bandwidth memory applications. [15] "4 Gb" (4 × 1024 3 bit) GDDR5 components became available in the third quarter of 2013. Initially released by Hynix, Micron Technology quickly followed up with their implementation releasing in 2014.
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 ...
When every process is waiting on the swap, the system is considered to be in swap death. [24] [25] Swap death can happen due to incorrectly configured memory overcommitment. [26] [27] [28] The original description of the "swapping to death" problem relates to the X server. If code or data used by the X server to respond to a keystroke is not in ...
The duration from the eighth generation until the start of the ninth was one of the longest in history, having started in 2012 with the release of Nintendo's Wii U.Past generations typically had five-year windows as a result of Moore's law, [9] but Microsoft and Sony instead launched mid-console redesigns, the Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro.

zram, formerly called compcache, is a Linux kernel module for creating a compressed block device in RAM, i.e. a RAM disk with on-the-fly disk compression. The block device created with zram can then be used for swap or as general-purpose RAM disk. The two most common uses for zram are for the storage of temporary files (/tmp) and as a swap ...
When a hot-swap component is inserted its input and output signal pins will represent a temporary short-circuit to ground. This can cause unwanted ground-level pulses on the signals which can disturb the operation of other hot-swap components in the system. This was a problem for early parallel SCSI disk-drives. One common design solution is to ...
