L27: Input output Management | Disc scheduling in Operating system
What is disk scheduling and management?
Disk scheduling and management are essential components of a computer's operating system that handle the organization and access of data on a disk. Disk scheduling algorithms determine the order in which the read/write head of the disk moves to access data, which impacts the efficiency and speed of accessing data.
Input/output (I/O) management involves controlling the flow of data into and out of a data processing complex. In an automated environment, you might want to change your approach to I/O activities that previously required manual intervention, such as tape and printer management.
