Question: What is IO-bound, and what is CPU-bound?

Answer:

IO-boundCPU-bound 描述了限制程序或任务性能及吞吐量的主要瓶颈。

CPU-bound (Compute-bound)

典型特征:

示例句子:
“This machine learning training job is strongly CPU-bound — even with 128 CPU cores it’s still running at 100% CPU for hours.”

IO-bound

导致 IO-bound 行为的常见 IO 类型:

典型特征:

示例句子:
“A web scraper that downloads 10,000 images is mostly IO-bound — the CPU is barely busy, but it’s spending 90% of the time waiting for network responses.”

Quick Comparison Table

Aspect CPU-bound IO-bound
Main bottleneck CPU processing power Waiting for IO (disk, network, etc.)
CPU usage Very high (80–100%) Low to medium (10–50%)
Typical optimization Faster CPU, more cores, better algo Async IO, faster disks/network, caching
Classic examples Video encoding, ML training, crypto Web servers, file copying, API clients
Benefits from multi-threading? Yes (if parallelizable) Often yes (hides latency)
Benefits from asyncio / event loop? Usually no Usually very much yes

简而言之:
