single-pass processing
[ˈsɪŋɡəl pæs ˈprɑːsɛsɪŋ]
noun
processamento em passada única
1. A computational method in which data is read and processed sequentially only once, without requiring multiple iterations or revisits to the same data
The algorithm uses single-pass processing to efficiently sort the dataset without storing intermediate results.
O algoritmo usa processamento em passada única para ordenar eficientemente o conjunto de dados sem armazenar resultados intermediários.
2. In compiler design, the technique of translating source code into object code in one complete scan without requiring additional passes
Early compilers implemented single-pass processing to minimize memory usage and compilation time.
Compiladores antigos implementavam processamento em passada única para minimizar o uso de memória e o tempo de compilação.
This is a specialized term primarily used in computer science, programming, and software engineering contexts. It gained prominence during the early era of computing when memory and processing resources were severely limited. The term reflects the historical evolution of programming languages and compiler design, where efficiency was paramount. In modern contexts, it remains relevant in streaming data processing, real-time systems, and resource-constrained environments like embedded systems.
