Intelligent I/O, also known as I2C, is an I/O architecture developed by the I2O special Interest Group (SIG). Intelligent Input/Output (I2O) is a hardware specification that describes a model for offloading I/O processing from the CPU.

The model is after the style of what has been used in very large mainframes for years.
