nonIO
NonIO is a term used in computing to describe operations, components, or systems that do not involve input or output. It is commonly used to contrast CPU-bound or in-memory computation with I/O-bound tasks that depend on data transfer to storage, networks, or devices.
In software development, nonIO tasks operate on data that already resides in memory. Examples include numerical
In hardware and system design, non-IO elements refer to computational units such to CPU cores and memory
In benchmarking and performance engineering, nonIO isolates compute performance by minimizing or excluding disk and network
Limitations: the nonIO distinction is a simplification. Real workloads often alternate between computation and I/O, and
