| It is used by the player to detect packet loss, to re-order out-of-order packets and to delete duplicates. |
|
| Besides higher heat dissipation and power consumption, a longer pipeline in a modern superscalar processor capable of out-of-order execution leads to other negative effects. |
|
| Memory barriers are necessary because most modern CPUs employ performance optimizations that can result in out-of-order execution. |
