After going through details of device interfaces next point to be discussed is how the interface can be used to support I/O from devices. Binary information received from an external device is generally stored in memory for later processing. Information transferred from central computer in an external device initiates in memory unit. Data transfer between central computer and I/O devices can be handled in some modes. 3 techniques are possible for I/O operation. These are:
Figure below gives an general idea of these 3 techniques:
Figure: Overview of the three Input/ Output
In programmed I/O, I/O operations are fully controlled by processor. The processor executes a program which initiates, directs and terminate an I/O operation. It needs a little special I/O hardware however is quite time consuming for processor as processor has to wait for slower I/O operations to finish.
With interrupt driven I/O when interface decides that device is ready for data transfer it produces an interrupt request to the computer. Upon detecting external interrupt signal processor stops the task it was processing and branches to a service program to process I/O transfer and then returns to task it was initially performing that result in waiting time by the processor being reduced.
With both interrupt-driven and programmed I/O processor is responsible for extracting data from main memory for output and storing data in main memory during input. What about having a substitute where I/O device may directly store data or retrieve data from memory? This alternative is called direct memory access (DMA). In this mode I/O interface and main memory exchange data directly without involvement of processor.

Discuss the concept of segmentation? Segmentation is method for the non contiguous storage allocation. This is different from paging as this supports user's view of his program
Even while Generalization satisfies Structural, Interface, Behaviour properties. It is mathematically very strong, as it is Antisymmetric and Transitive. Antisymmetric: employe
Q. why we need Web Browser? A Web browser is software program which allows you to easily display Web pages and navigate the Web. The first graphical browser, Mosaic, was develo
Hyper-threading works by duplicating those sections of processor that kept the architectural state-but not duplicates the main implementation resources. This allows a Hyper-threadi
The Stack A procedure call is supported by a stack. So let's discuss stack in assembly. Stacks are 'Last In First Out' data structures and are used for storing return addresses
Q. What do you mean by Mouse Protocols? Mouse protocol is the digital code to that signal from the mouse gets converted. There are four main protocols: Microsoft, Mouse Systems
A distributed workstation cluster must be viewed like single computing resource and not as a group of particular workstations'. Details of cluster were: 150MHz R4400 workstatio
Overriding tell us only the methods, but shadowing tells us the entire element.
Why a function canot have delays? However in Open Vera, delays are allowed in function. A function returns a value and hence can be used as a part of any expression. This doesn
Why SRAM are said to be volatile? Because their contents are lost when power is interrupted. So SRAM are said to be volatile.
