I/O Request Queue

An I/O Request Queue is like a waiting line for tasks that involve input and output operations on a computer, such as reading data from a disk or sending information to a printer. When multiple tasks are submitted, the system organizes them in a queue, prioritizing which task to handle next. This helps ensure that resources are used efficiently and that tasks are completed in an orderly manner. By managing these requests, the computer can improve performance and reduce delays, much like how a well-organized queue at a store leads to faster service.
