  Memory and buffer management
Because the data in the buffer will be overwritten by the next incoming packet, the application will either have to act immediately on the data or copy the data into a secondary buffer for later processing.
The buffers are not deallocated when the device driver is finished sending the data, but held on a retransmission queue.
The buffers are not deallocated until the data is known to be received by the peer.

  Voice buffer management - Patent 4841574
This buffering must be done on a real time basis so that application programs executing on the system can store the buffered voice data on disk, as the user is speaking, so as to allow continuous speech without limiting the amount of voice data that can be input to the system.
In the preferred embodiment disclosed herein, the buffer is a ring-type buffer composed of N records with M records forming a block of the buffer.
The buffer will continue to be filled until the end of the buffer is reached, at which point it will start from the beginning again provided that the block at the beginning of the buffer is available.

 Critical Chain FAQ
Resource Buffers are unlike the other buffers, as they do not directly impact the lead time or scheduling of the project, but rather serve as a wake-up call for resources that may need one in order to be ready to run their leg of the relay when their predecessor is complete.
Buffer Management is the tracking and assessment of the consumption and replenishment of buffers during project execution.
Since buffers are based in the ability of "luckier" tasks making up for the "unlucky" tasks, when chains of tasks get short, with perhaps only four or less tasks, and alternative calculation based on the "square root of the sum of the squares of the differences" of these two task estimates is sometimes used.

 UDI Core Specification 1.01 - Buffer Management
The UDI buffer is used to pass user data from one UDI region to another, typically for the purpose of performing I/O with that buffer.
Each UDI metalanguage is free to manage buffers in a manner appropriate to that metalanguage (and may even manage different buffers in a different manner for different metalanguage operations) but must specify the methodology to be used in the metalanguage specification and as part of the metalanguage library interface.
Buffer tags are related to specific data within the buffer and are used to describe that data.

 Quality for business Step Five
A buffer is essentially a form of protection against variation and a control over the performance of the system.
Buffer management is the control mechanism that can protect the constraint and indicate areas of the system that are not in control.
To get the maximum out of buffer management, we must make sure that all the main processes impacting the constraint are stable, with an interval of variability that allows them to be managed.

 RECOVERY AND BUFFER MANAGEMENT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Buffer manager is a specialised virtual memory manager since needs of a database are somewhat more specialised than an ordinary operating system.
Buffer manager interacts with the crash recovery system to decide on what can be written back to disk.
Some recovery algorithms permit the buffer manager to steal dirty main memory pages (a dirty page is a page in which data has been updated by a transaction that has not been committed) by writing them to disk before the transactions that modify them commit.

 Self-manage data buffer memory
That's followed by an abstract data buffer scheme, illustrated by a pseudo implementation, that solves many of those problems, followed by code snippets demonstrating the solution's benefits.
Because you must specify the size when a buffer is created under the conventional allocation scheme, a data provider, which presumably knows the size of the data it provides, is the best party to perform the buffer allocation operation.
As an alternative, by centralizing the memory management and data copying operations, the proposed abstract buffer immediately eliminates the possibilities of inconsistent memory management and buffer overflow.

 Buffer Management (DLC: Platform SDK)
The buffer management provided in the Win32 DLC implementation is different than the buffer management provided in other implementations.
The DLC buffer pools are dynamically expanded during LLC_READ, LLC_DLC_FLOW_CONTROL, and LLC_BUFFER_GET commands if the size of the free buffers is less than the specified minimum threshold size for the application.
Because the DLC driver locks all transmit buffers that are not in the buffer pool, you should avoid using a large number of small buffers for transmitting data.

 Buffer Management   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Representative cases and applications include on-chip and off-chip caches, virtual memory, buffer caches for I/O data, disk caches, proxy caches, file systems, databases, and many others.
A critical component in caching management is its replacement algorithms to fully utilize the limited cache space by effectively exploiting the data locality.
We have also looked into the issues of effectively managing the data replacement in Window systems, in disk caching in data grid, and in multi-level caching in distributed systems.

The buffers will tell you about the health of the system and any individual operation, the status of a work order and where to focus improvement.
To manage the buffer we divide it into three zones, let's call them Red, Yellow, Green.
When things don't show up in the buffer according to plan, we have what we call a "hole." If we don't see it with six hours left we will penetrate into our yellow zone, which is watch and plan.

 FS-733 - Riparian Buffer Management Riparian Buffer Systems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
When this area is planted in such a way to protect the waterway from negative impacts of the adjacent land use it becomes a buffer, specifically, a riparian buffer.
By incorporating vegetative riparian buffers along as much of the length of a watercourse as is possible, runoff is intercepted, slowed, and allowed to percolate into the ground, recharging our groundwater.
Within the riparian buffer, the water-holding capacity of the soil increases; this moderates flooding and recharges groundwater supplies.

 Adaptive Jitter Buffer Management for Voice over IP
Closely related to the Jitter Buffer Manager is frame erasure, which is used to compensate when a packet has not arrived in time for playout.
Adaptive Jitter Buffer Management utilizes an algorithm that enables the RISC processor to delay until the last possible millisecond before it must notify the DSP that frame erasure is required.
The dynamic buffer adjusts the balance between speech quality and packet-delivery reliability by increasing the buffer size if it is too short (lots of packets are arriving too late for playout) or decreasing the size if it is too long (playout is delayed too long with delay becoming intolerable).

Memory for a sound buffer can be lost in certain situations: for example, when buffers are located in sound card memory and another application gains control of the hardware resources.
If successful, this method restores the buffer memory and all other settings for the buffer, such as volume and pan settings.
However, a restored buffer may not contain valid sound data, so the owning application should rewrite the data to the buffer.

 Buffer Management
The only viable solution to address this problem is to build large memory buffers to cache data for reuse by taking advantage of low price and large capacity of DRAM memory, and to prefetch data for predicted future use by taking advantage of high and idle bandwidths of networks.
First, existing memory buffer management lacks efficient mechanisms to learn and adapt certain types of access patterns and locality behaviors of applications, causing low memory buffer hit ratios for some important applications.
Finally, memory buffer management in operating systems has little knowledge of data layout in disks and their physical configuration.

 Force10 Networks: Buffer Management   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
DBP-sized buffers, together with RED congestion avoidance, can be used to optimize the utilization of congested links by TCP applications.
While large buffers primarily benefit long-term TCP application flows, QoS functionality can be leveraged to allocate appropriate levels of buffering and bandwidth to different classes of traffic and to protect delay-sensitive applications from excessive queuing delays associated with large buffers.
Adequate buffering is necessary to minimize packet loss and to maximize the utilization of the end-to-end network.

 N-151: OpenSSH Buffer Management Error
When a function that expands the size of a buffer detects that the new size will be greater then 10Meg it generates a fatal error.
When the error is generated, the function incorrectly sets the size of the allocated buffer to a value larger than the actual allocation.
The description of this vulnerability exposes the fact that if a buffer in sshd can be expanded beyond about 10Meg, that sshd will shut down by design.
