Deadline I/O Scheduler

The Deadline I/O Scheduler is a system component that manages how a computer's storage device handles multiple data requests. Its goal is to ensure that data read or write operations are completed promptly, especially for time-sensitive tasks like multimedia or real-time applications. It organizes requests by their deadlines, prioritizing those that need to be finished soonest while preventing any operation from being delayed excessively. This approach helps maintain a balance between efficiency and responsiveness, leading to smoother performance for demanding tasks without overwhelming the storage device.
