A CPU burst refers to a period during which a process is actively using the CPU, performing computations without waiting for input/output operations. Understanding CPU bursts is crucial for optimizing CPU scheduling and improving system performance by minimizing wait times and maximizing throughput.

Input/output operations are essential processes in computing that facilitate the communication between a computer system and the external environment, including users and other systems. They are crucial for data exchange, enabling systems to receive input data for processing and deliver output results for further use or interpretation.
