I/O bound processes are those that spend more time waiting for input/output operations to complete than using the CPU for computation. These processes benefit from systems that can efficiently manage I/O operations to minimize idle CPU time and improve overall performance.

I/O bound processes

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.
