In computer science and software engineering, busy-waiting, busy-looping or spinning is a technique in which a process repeatedly checks to see if a condition...

as busy waiting, this is generally not as efficient as the alternative to polling, interrupt-driven I/O. In a simple single-purpose system, even busy-wait...

The busy signal has become less common in the past few decades due to the prevalence of call waiting and voicemail. An otherwise unspecified busy signal...
