synchronous input/output
[/sɪŋˈkrɒnəs ˈɪnpʊt ˈaʊtpʊt/]
noun
entrada/saída síncrona
1. A computing operation where the program execution is blocked until an input/output operation is completely finished before proceeding to the next instruction
The application uses synchronous input/output, so the program waits for the file read operation to complete before continuing execution.
A aplicação usa entrada/saída síncrona, portanto o programa aguarda a conclusão da operação de leitura do arquivo antes de continuar a execução.
2. A data transfer method where the sender and receiver operate at the same clock speed with timing signals synchronized
Synchronous input/output ensures that all data transfers happen at predictable intervals.
A entrada/saída síncrona garante que todas as transferências de dados ocorram em intervalos previsíveis.
This is technical jargon predominantly used in software development, systems programming, and computer science education in both Brazil and English-speaking countries. In Brazilian tech companies, both the full term 'entrada/saída síncrona' and abbreviated forms like 'E/S síncrona' or simply 'I/O síncrono' are commonly used interchangeably, reflecting the international nature of software development.
