Before virtual reality and virtual currency there was virtual memory. Windows has it, iOS has it and so does Android. What is it and how does it work?]]> 1 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 12:14:24 +0000 http://www.androidauthority.com/community/threads/how-smartphone-cameras-work-%E2%80%93-gary-explains.43246/ http://www.androidauthority.com/community/threads/how-smartphone-cameras-work-%E2%80%93-gary-explains.43246/ invalid@example.com (Gary Sims) Gary Sims

System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designers have a problem, a big problem in fact, Random Access Memory (RAM) is slow, too slow, it just can't keep up. So they came up with a workaround and it is called cache memory.]]> 6 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 01:34:13 +0000 http://www.androidauthority.com/community/threads/ask-gary.28360/ http://www.androidauthority.com/community/threads/ask-gary.28360/ invalid@example.com (Gary Sims) Gary Sims

Spend enough time around Android, or even PCs, and eventually you will come across the term, "the Linux kernel," since Android uses the Linux kernel. The "Linux" part is easy enough to understand, it is a play-on-words of Linus, as in Linus Torvalds, the original...
