Operating System Performance,ing when processing power and memory were extremely expensive commodities. Nevertheless, the behaviour of computer systems as a whole is still of great concern. In many applications, the demand for processing capability is insatiable, and the wise and efficient usage of resources is still therefore a major issue for system designers.

The wide acceptance of international standards has accelerated this process, allowing systems from many different manufacturers to be interconnected in a coherent way.

In this chapter, we review the characteristics of simple buffering systems, identify their deficiencies and consider more sophisticated buffering techniques. Other forms of I/O device handling are also considered, pa
