Iometer is based on a [[client–server model]], where one instance of the Iometer [[graphical user interface]] is managing one or more 'managers' (each one representing a separate Dynamo.exe [[Process_(computing)|process]]) which are doing the [[Input/output|I/O]] with one or more [[thread pool|worker threads]]. Iometer performs [[Asynchronous I/O]] - accessing [[computer file|files]] or [[Block device#Block devices|block devices]] (later one allowing to bypass the [[file system#User data|file system buffers]]).

Iometer allows the configuration of [[Disk storage|disk]] parameters such as the 'Maximum Disk Size', 'Starting [[Disk sector|Disk Sector]]' and '# of Outstanding I/Os'. This allows a user to configure a test file upon which the 'Access Specifications' configure the I/O types to the file.
