CPU-managed data transfer

[ˈsiː.piː.ˈjuː ˈmænɪdʒd ˈdeɪtə ˈtrænsfɜːr]
nounpl: CPU-managed data transfers
transferência de dados gerenciada pela CPU
1. A data transfer operation in computer systems where the central processing unit (CPU) actively manages and controls the movement of data between memory, storage, and peripherals, as opposed to direct memory access (DMA)
The system uses CPU-managed data transfer for non-critical I/O operations to maintain better control over resource allocation.
O sistema utiliza transferência de dados gerenciada pela CPU para operações de E/S não críticas, mantendo melhor controle sobre a alocação de recursos.
2. A data movement technique where the processor actively supervises and executes data transfers rather than allowing dedicated hardware controllers to handle the operation independently
CPU-managed data transfer can be slower than DMA but provides greater flexibility in handling complex data patterns.
A transferência de dados gerenciada pela CPU pode ser mais lenta que DMA, mas oferece maior flexibilidade no tratamento de padrões de dados complexos.
This is technical jargon primarily used in computer science, computer engineering, and IT professional contexts in both Brazil and the USA. The term reflects the evolution of computer architecture discussions and is commonly found in academic texts, technical documentation, and professional training materials across both countries.
