Above the kernel, running in user mode, are the device drivers, each one running as a separate process tightly restricted by the memory management hardware to accessing only its own memory.
设备驱动处于内核之上,运行在用户态。每个驱动都作为单独的进程运行,受到内存管理硬件的严格约束,只能访问自己拥有的内存。
No, AIR doesn't do windowed hardware acceleration (it does it for video in full screen mode), but again, it's a 1.0 product and we don't have time to put everything in.
是的,AIR并没有做窗口模式的硬件加速(它只为全屏模式的视频做了加速),但是它仍然只是个1.0的产品,我们没有足够的时间集成所有的功能。
An application cannot bypass the OS and access hardware resources directly. It is commonly said that applications run in user mode.
应用程序已经不可能绕过现代的操作系统直接访问硬件,一种更普遍的说法就是应用程序以用户态(user mode)运行。
