AIO (Asynchronous Input/Output)

Asynchronous Input/Output (AIO) is a process used by computers to perform tasks like reading or writing data without stopping other operations. It allows the system to continue working on different tasks while waiting for input or output operations to complete. For example, a computer can send data to a printer and, at the same time, process user commands or fetch information from the internet. This improves efficiency and responsiveness because tasks don’t block each other, making the system more effective at handling multiple operations smoothly.
