Question 1

What is the Input-Process-Output Model?

Answer 1

It is an abstract way of describing the structure of a system or algorithm. An input is taken, processed, and results in an output. It has the practicality to standardize inputs and outputs, leaving the process unimportant.

input → process → output

Question 2

What is the extension of the IPO Model?

Answer 2

A feedback loop is added from output to input, and storage is added to the process.

The storage can be used as a cache.
