Definition of "busy waiting" |
a processor state in which it is reading a lock and finding it busy, so it repeats the read until the lock is available, without attempting to divert to another task. The name derives from the fact that the program is kept busy with this waiting and is not accomplishing anything else while it waits. The entire “busy loop” may be only 2 or 3 instructions. “Busy waiting” is generally deplored because of the waste of processing facilities. |
