English term

buffer

GBK English to Japanese Tech/Engineering Computers (general)
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 sentences:
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)

Definition from own experience or research:
入力データを一時的に蓄えておくメモリー、レジスター。演算処理器の処理がデータの入力速度に間に合わない時に使う。<br />「buffer」は「緩衝装置」という意味で、コンピュータ関連では、データ転送を効率よく、あるいは高速に行うことを目的として、データを一時的に保存しておく場所を指してこう呼ぶ。
Example sentences:
例えば、ハードディスクから、あるセクタのデータを1回だけ読み出してバッファに格納し、それ以後は、実際のディスクへのアクセスを行わずに、代わりにバッファからデータを読み出すだけで済ませれば、アクセスに要する時間を大幅に節約することができる。 (Insider's Computer Directory)
Note from asker:
Tak, geopiet, score = 20, więc three score and ten jest siedemdziesiąt.
didn't see it in you answer
BTW. There is the famous Gettysburg address by Abraham Lincoln, which uses score for a dramatic, near-biblical effect: <b>Four score and seven years</b> ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Osiemdziesiąt siedem po francusku jest quatre-vingt sept = cztery dwudziestki plus siedem.
Wielkie dzięki! Wszystkiego dobrego w Nowym Roku!
