batchprosessoinnista

Batch processing, or batchprosessointi in Finnish, is a method of executing a series of jobs or programs on a computer without manual intervention. In this approach, tasks are collected into a group, or "batch," and then processed sequentially. This is in contrast to interactive processing, where a user directly interacts with the computer system in real-time. Batch processing is typically used for tasks that are repetitive, time-consuming, or do not require immediate results. Examples include payroll processing, end-of-day financial reports, and large-scale data analysis. The system takes the batch of jobs and executes them one after another, often during periods of low system activity to maximize efficiency. This can lead to significant cost savings and improved resource utilization. However, it also means that results are not available immediately, as the entire batch must be completed. Modern computing environments still utilize batch processing for many critical backend operations.
