Bufor
Bufor, in Polish, is a term used for several related ideas around temporary storage or energy absorption. In computing, a buffer refers to a region of memory or a storage area used to hold data while it is being moved between devices or software processes. Buffers help accommodate speed differences, reduce the number of I/O operations, and smooth data flow. Common forms include ring buffers for streaming data and disk or network buffers that cache data to improve throughput. Using buffering involves trade-offs between latency and reliability; larger buffers can smooth bursts but add delay.
In chemistry and biology, a buffer (bufor) is a solution that resists changes in pH when small
In mechanical engineering and railway contexts, a buffer is a device designed to absorb energy and dampen
In media playback and streaming, buffering refers to preloading data so that playback can continue smoothly
