IO Memory

IO memory refers to a dedicated area of memory used by a computer system for input/output operations, which involve communicating with external devices like disks, printers, or network hardware. Unlike regular memory used for running programs, IO memory acts as a bridge that temporarily holds data being transferred between the system and these devices. It ensures smooth, efficient data exchange, reducing delays and processing bottlenecks, and is managed by specialized hardware and software to coordinate device communication seamlessly within the computer system.
