Question

Which of the following defines the earliest information that is passed through the buffer?

(a) buffer latency

(b) memory

(c) pointer

(d) peripheral

The question was asked by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

I would like to ask this question from Buffers in division Buffering and other Data Structures of Embedded Systems

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) buffer latency

To explain I would say: The buffer latency determines the earliest information that passes through the buffer and any response to that information will be delayed by the buffer latency irrespective of how fast the processor is.
