Double buffering

Double buffering

A method of using dual buffers to achieve efficient oneway data transmission between two processors or between a processor and a peripheral device. Each buffer is a block of storage through which data is transmitted from one processor (or device) to the other. The receiving processor reads the transmitted data from one buffer while the sending processor simultaneously prepares the data for the next transmission in the alternate buffer.
