KembaraXtra-Computer Terms – batch system:


A batch system is a computing system designed to process data or programs in groups of previously scheduled operations rather than through immediate user interaction. In this type of system, tasks are collected, queued, and processed sequentially according to a predefined schedule.


Batch systems were widely used in early computing environments where users submitted programs and data for processing, and the system executed them later as part of a processing batch. Although modern systems often support interactive computing, batch systems are still used for large-scale data processing tasks such as financial reporting, scientific calculations, and system maintenance operations.
