  2. Memory leak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak

    A memory leak can cause an increase in memory usage, performance run-time and can negatively impact the user experience. [4] Eventually, in the worst case, too much of the available memory may become allocated and all or part of the system or device stops working correctly, the application fails, or the system slows down vastly due to thrashing.

  3. Fair-share scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair-share_scheduling

    On the other hand, if a new user starts a process on the system, the scheduler will reapportion the available CPU cycles such that each user gets 20% of the whole (100% / 5 = 20%). Another layer of abstraction allows us to partition users into groups, and apply the fair share algorithm to the groups as well.

  4. Load (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing)

    The reason CPU queue length did better is probably because when a host is heavily loaded, its CPU utilization is likely to be close to 100%, and it is unable to reflect the exact load level of the utilization. In contrast, CPU queue lengths can directly reflect the amount of load on a CPU.

    It can also serve to investigate, measure, validate or verify other quality attributes of the system, such as scalability, reliability and resource usage. Performance testing, a subset of performance engineering, is a computer science practice which strives to build performance standards into the implementation, design and architecture of a system.

  7. CPU-bound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU-bound

    The term can also refer to the condition a computer running such a workload is in, in which its processor utilization is high, perhaps at 100% usage for many seconds or minutes, and interrupts generated by peripherals may be processed slowly or be indefinitely delayed. [citation needed]

  8. World Community Grid - Wikipedia

    CPU usage history indicates almost 0% to 100% swing with peak to peak of 3 seconds interval, when view +update speed set to high, at first half recording period. The rest of half period of history is set to update speed normal, and upper CPU usage history indicates slightly more than 60% and lower CPU usage history show 35% approx. in average.

  9. Benchmark (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benchmark_(computing)

    A graphical demo running as a benchmark of the OGRE engine. In computing, a benchmark is the act of running a computer program, a set of programs, or other operations, in order to assess the relative performance of an object, normally by running a number of standard tests and trials against it.
