Fundamentals of Input and Output Performance
The I/O subsystem is a component of computer system design that uses buses to assist communication between the Central Processing Unit, Computer Memory/Storage, and Input and Output Devices (that is known as peripheral devices). The I/O subsystem include…

a.

Program Plan Intro

Programmed I/O:

  • In programmed I/O, the CPU continuously checking (polling) the hardware items that were associated with each I/O port.
  • Programmed I/O is very easy to understand but it is very slow and inefficient.
  • Usage: Programmed I/O is commonly used in sensors because they are good for controlling applications.

  • Usage: Programmed I/O is commonly used in sensors because they are good for controlling applications.

c.

Program Plan Intro

DMA:

  • It is called as direct memory access. The CPU transfers to and from the I/O devices with the help of programmed I/O and interrupt-driven I/O.
    • That is, DMA allows certain hardware-systems in order to access the main system memory, independent of the CPU.
  • During I/O the CPU runs some commands that are simple enough to be programmed.
  • Usage: DMA are good for small and medium sized systems.

d.

Program Plan Intro

Interrupt-driven I/O:

  • In interrupt-driven I/O the device intimates the CPU about the available input.
  • It is very fast and efficient.
  • Usage: Interrupt driven I/O are commonly used in personal systems.
