buffer

GBK English to Tagalog 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)

Buffer

Definition from own experience or research:
As with many technical terms, buffer is retained in its original form. A number of words such as edit, delete, post, computer and the likes fall in this category. While some has transliterated other terms, the best and regular practice is to retain it in its original form.
Example sentences:
when using in the plural, the plural marker (mga) should be added and the suffix (s) removed. ex. EN: Circular Buffers TG: Mga Circular Buffer (Wikanatin)
Peer comment(s):

agree Dexter John David (X) : The term is most often transliterated. Borrowing the term does more good. We can force to translate it but most often it only produces confusion.

Buffer (Telecommunication)

In computing, a buffer is a region of memory used to temporarily hold data while it is being moved from one place to another. Typically, the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device (such as a keyboard) or just before it is sent to an output device (such as a printer). However, a buffer may be used when moving data between processes within a computer. This is comparable to buffers in telecommunication. Buffers can be implemented in either hardware or software, but the vast majority of buffers are implemented in software. Buffers are typically used when there is a difference between the rate at which data is received and the rate at which it can be processed, or in the case that these rates are variable, for example in a printer spooler.
