Detailed explanation-1: -Interrupts allow devices to notify the CPU when they have data to transfer or when an operation is complete, allowing the CPU to perform other duties when no I/O transfers need its immediate attention.
Detailed explanation-2: -The buffer is an area in the main memory used to store or hold the data temporarily. In other words, buffer temporarily stores data transmitted from one place to another, either between two devices or an application. The act of storing data temporarily in the buffer is called buffering.
Detailed explanation-3: -Buffering is the process of preloading data into a reserved area of memory that’s called a buffer. In the context of streaming video or audio, buffering is when the software downloads a certain amount of data before it begins playing the video or music.
Detailed explanation-4: -These are mainly acidic buffers and basic buffers.
Detailed explanation-5: -Question: How Buffering can improve the performance of a Computer system? Answer: If C.P.U and I/O devices are nearly same at speed, the buffering helps in making the C.P.U and the I/O devices work at full speed in such a way that C.P.U and the I/O devices never sit idle at any moment.
