Buffering, Polling & Spooling

Home Buffering Kernels provide many services related to I/O.  Several services—scheduling, buffering, caching, spooling, device reservation, and error handling—are provided by the kernel’s I/O subsystem and build on the hardware and device-driver infrastructure. A buffer, of course, is a memory area that stores data being transferred between two devices or between a device and an application. Caching: A cache is a region of fast memory that holds copies of data or cache is a temporary storage area where frequently accessed data can be stored for rapid access.  What does Buffer mean? A buffer is a temporary holding area for data while it's waiting to be transferred to another location. It is usually located in the RAM. The concept of the buffer has developed in order to prevent data congestion from an incoming to an outgoing port of transfer.  Computers have many different devices that all operate at varying speeds, and a buffer is needed to act as a ...
