FIFO (First In First Out)
system in which the first item stored is the first item retrieved (Computers); inventory method for valuing merchandise
FIFO
FIFO is an
acronym for First In, First Out. This expression describes the principle of a
queue or
first-come, first-served (FCFS) behaviour: what comes in first is handled first, what comes in next waits until the first is finished, etc. Thus it is analogous to the behaviour of persons queueing (or "standing in line", in common American parlance), where the persons leave the queue in the order they arrive. FCFS is also the other name for the FIFO operating system scheduling algorithm, which gives every process
CPU time in the order they come.
