The basic capability provided is that of shared memory XImages. This is essentially a version of the ximage interface where the actual image data is stored in a SysV shared memory segment, and thus need not be transferred across the Unix domain socket socket to the X server. For large images, use of this facility can result in some real performance increases. Additionally, some implementations provide shared memory pixmaps. These are 2 dimensional arrays of pixels in a format specified by the X server, where the image data is stored in the shared memory segment. Through use of shared memory pixmaps, it is possible to change the contents of these pixmaps without using any Xlib routines at all. Shared memory pixmaps can only be supported when the X server can use regular virtual memory for pixmap data if the pixmaps are stored in the on board memory of graphics hardware, an application will not be able to share them with the server.

The Center for Biological & Computational Learning is a research lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . CBCL was established in 1992 with support from the National Science Foundation . It is based in the Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences at MIT, and is associated with the McGovern Institute for Brain Research , and the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory . It was founded with the belief that learning is at the very core of the problem of intelligence, both biological and artificial. Learning is thus the gateway to understanding how the human brain works and for making intelligent machines. CBCL studies the problem of learning within a multidisciplinary approach. Its main goal is to nurture serious research on the mathematics, the engineering and the neuroscience of learning. Research is focused on the problem of learning in a theory b engineering applications and c neuroscience . In computational neuroscience , the center has developed a model of the ventral stream in the visual cortex which accounts for much of the physiological data, and psychophysical experiments in difficult object recognition tasks. The model performs at the level of the best computer vision systems.
