English term or phrase: buffer
Definition from WTCS.ORG:
A temporary storage place for data, designed to compensate for a difference In transmission speeds or to hold data when there is a difference in timing of events. It can be a software program, a storage facility or a hardware device, ensuring the data always has somewhere to go, even if it has to be held up for while in the buffer until it can be transmitted to the destination.

Example sentence(s):
  • Circular Buffers are use for data transfer between two processes. The Producer process places items into the Circular Buffer and the Consumer process removes them. The variable capacity of the Circular Buffer accommodates timing differences between the Producer and Consumer processes. NET Code
  • The buffer editor is one of the most unique and powerful features of the EPROM+ system. Allowing full access to the system's buffer, the editor provides you with a full screen display of the contents in both hex and ASCII formats. arlabs.com
  • It is generally accepted that On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) systems benefit from large database memory buffers. Portal

buffer
Definition:
En buffer (i IT-sammenhæng) er et digitalt lager (hukommelse).

Formålet med en buffer er at danne et mellemlager mellem en proces der genererer data i et bestemt tempo, og en proces der bruger data i et andet tempo. De to processer kan fx være et applikationsprogram og en driver. Et hverdagseksempel på en buffer er en almindelig postkasse: Folk putter breve i postkassen i spredt orden, og en gang i døgnet kommer postbuddet og samler alle brevene.

Example sentence(s):
  • TCP garanterer korrekt levering af hver en bit i media datastrømmen, men dette opnås via timeouts og genfremsendelse som er kompleks at implementere. Det betyder også at datastrømmen går midlertidig i stå i "længere tid", hvis forbindelsen falder kortvarigt ud. Dette håndteres og minimeres i dag i klienterne ved at gemme noget af datastrømmen i en *buffer* så udfaldene får mindre betydning for præsentationen. - Wikipedia  
  • Understøtte lavforsinkelse computer-interrupts i styresystemet for at hindre *buffer* underløb - Wikipedia
