multi-pass
Several processing cycles
Multi-pass describes a process that works through data or material more than once, with each pass refining or completing the result.
A multi-pass compiler reads source code multiple times, gathering information before generating final output.
Video encoding uses multi-pass analysis to optimize quality.
The term applies broadly to any iterative approach where repeated sweeps achieve what a single pass cannot: The scanner uses a multi-pass algorithm to detect edges.
