`

`input-bound or just output—bound if only input or only out-
`put limits the speed at which the processor accepts and
`processes data. Also called.‘ l/O-bound.
`
`input/output buffer :1. A portion of computer memory
`reserved for temporary storage of incoming and outgoing
`data. Because inputfoutput devices can often write to a
`buffer without intervention from the CPU, a program can
`continue execution while the buffer fills, thus speeding
`program execution. See also buffer‘.
`
`input/output bus 11. A hardware path used inside a coin-
`puter for transferring information to and from the proces-
`sor and various input and output devices. See also bus.
`
`input/output channel 22.. A hardware path from the CPU
`to the input/output bus. See also bus.
`
`input/output controller :1. Circuitry that monitors oper-
`ations and performs tasks related to receiving input and
`transferring output at an input or output device or port,
`thus providing the processor with a consistent means of
`communication (input/output interface) with the device
`and also freeing the processor’s time for other work. For
`example, when a read or write operation is performed on a
`disk, the drive’s controller carries out the high-speed, elec-
`tronically sophisticated tasks involved in positioning the
`read—write heads, locating specific storage areas on the
`spinning disk, reading from and writing to the disk sur-
`face, and even checking for errors. Most controllers
`require software that enables the computer to receive and
`process the data the controller makes available. Also
`called: device controller, 110 controller.
`
`input/output device :1. A piece of hardware that can be
`used both for providing data to a computer and for receiv-
`ing data from it, depending on the current situation. A disk
`drive is an example of an input/output device. Some
`devices, such as a keyboard or a mouse, can be used only
`for input and are thus called input (input-only) devices.
`Other devices, such as printers, can be used only for out-
`put and are thus called output (output-only) devices. Most
`devices require installation of software routines called
`device drivers to enable the computer to transmit and
`receive data to and from them.
`
`lnput/output Interface 12. See input/output controller.
`
`Input/output port :2. See port.
`
`processor can perform time-intensive, complicated analy-
`sis and synthesis of sound patterns without CPU overhead.
`See also digital signal processor, front-end processor (def-
`inition 1).
`
`input/output statement 14. A program instruction that
`causes data to be transferred between memory and an
`input or output device.
`
`input port It. See port.
`
`Input stream 11. A flow of information used in a program
`as a sequence of bytes that are associated with a particular
`task or destination. Input streams include series of charac~
`ters read from the keyboard to memory and blocks of data
`read from disk files. Compare output stream.
`
`inquiry 11. A request for information. See also query.
`INS :2. See WINS.
`
`Insertion point a. A blinking vertical bar on the screen,
`such as in graphical user interfaces, that marks the loca-
`tion at which inserted text will appear. See also cursor
`{definition 1).
`
`insertion sort it. A list—sorting algorithm that starts with
`a list that contains one item and builds an ever-larger
`sorted list by inserting the items to be sorted one at a time
`into their correct positions on that list. Insertion sorts are
`inefficient when used with arrays, because of constant
`shuffling of items, but are ideally suited for sorting linked
`lists. See also linked list, sort algorithm. Compare bubble
`sort, quicksort.
`
`Insert key :1. A key on the keyboard, labeled “[nsert" or
`“lns," whose usual function is to toggle a program’s edit-
`ing setting between an insert mode and an overwrite
`mode, although it may perform different functions in dif-
`ferent applications. Also called: Ins key.
`
`insert mode rt. A mode of operation in which a character
`typed into a document or at a command line pushes subse-
`quent existing characters farther to the right on the screen
`rather than overwriting them. Insert mode is the opposite
`of overwrite mode, in which new characters replace subse-
`quent existing characters. The key or key combination
`used to change from one mode to the other varies among
`programs, but the Insert key is most often used. Compare
`overwrite mode.
