polling loop
[ˈpoʊlɪŋ luːp]
nounpl: polling loops
loop de sondagem
1. A programming construct in which a process repeatedly checks (polls) a device or variable for a change in state or status, typically within a looping control structure, rather than waiting for an interrupt or callback
The embedded system uses a polling loop to continuously check the status of the sensor every millisecond.
O sistema embarcado usa um loop de sondagem para verificar continuamente o status do sensor a cada milissegundo.
2. A cycle of repeated checking or querying of a resource, device, or data structure until a specific condition is met or a response is received
The client implements a polling loop to query the server for updates at regular intervals.

This is a technical term specific to computer science and software engineering, used identically in both Brazilian and American English contexts. The term is particularly important in discussions of real-time systems, embedded systems, and I/O operations where the choice between polling loops and interrupt-driven approaches significantly impacts system efficiency and responsiveness.
