batch processing

In computing, system for processing data with little or no operator intervention. Batches of data are prepared in advance to be processed during regular ‘runs’ (for example, each night). This allows efficient use of the computer and is well suited to applications of a repetitive nature, such bulk file format conversion, as a company payroll, or the production of utility bills.

In interactive computing, by contrast, data and instructions are entered while the processing program is running.
