computers are supercomputers now, with today’s iPhones vastly outpacing a PowerMac G4, and with compute performance vastly outpacing I/O performance. In addition, the difference between access times (latency) and transfer speeds (bandwidth) that we saw with memory access is even more pronounced with I/O devices. Whereas the difference between latency and throughput is around 1:100 with memory, it is 1:100,000 and more with I/O devices.
