I/O buffering. A Dictionary of Computing. Â© A Dictionary of Computing 2004, originally published by Oxford University Press 2004. I/O buffering The process of temporarily storing data that is passing between a processor and a peripheral. The usual purpose is to smooth out the difference in rates at which the two devices can handle data.
One way to speed it up is to use a buffer: instead of reading one byte at a time, you read a few thousand bytes at once, and put them in a buffer, in memory. Then you can look at the bytes in the buffer one by one. Oracle's Java tutorial about I/O explains it in detail.he buffer is a storage container which stores part or all of the streamed data and feeds this to the output device. Of course, the point being that if the stream slows beyond the data rate required to show the data, then the output would pause.
