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.
