From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]:
busy-wait
To wait for an event by spinning through a
tight loop or timed-delay loop that polls for the event on
each pass, as opposed to setting up an interrupt handler and
continuing execution on another part of the task. This is a
wasteful technique, best avoided on time-sharing systems
where a busy-waiting program may hog the processor.
