Description: The ‘Flush Mode’ refers to the configuration that determines how buffer records are emptied in a computer system. This process is crucial for efficient data management, as the buffer acts as a temporary storage area that allows handling the speed difference between two devices, such as a processor and a storage device. The way the buffer is flushed can significantly affect system performance, latency, and data integrity. There are different flushing modes, which may include immediate flushing, where data is transferred to the destination device as soon as it is received, or batch flushing, where data is accumulated and transferred in groups. The choice of flushing mode depends on various factors, such as the nature of the application, the amount of data to be processed, and real-time requirements. Proper management of the flushing mode not only optimizes resource usage but also minimizes the risk of data loss and improves overall system efficiency.
