  2. Scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability

    Scaling vertically (up/down) means adding resources to (or removing resources from) a single node, typically involving the addition of CPUs, memory or storage to a single computer. [ 7 ] Benefits to scale-up include avoiding increased management complexity, more sophisticated programming to allocate tasks among resources and handling issues ...

  3. Scalability testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability_testing

    Vertical scaling, also known as scaling up, is the process of replacing a component with a device that is generally more powerful or improved. For example, replacing a processor with a faster one. Horizontal scaling, also known as scaling out is setting up another server for example to run in parallel with the original so they share the workload.

  4. Vertical exaggeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_exaggeration

    The vertical exaggeration is given by: = where VS is the vertical scale and HS is the horizontal scale, both given as representative fractions.. For example, if 1 centimetre (0.39 in) vertically represents 200 metres (660 ft) and 1 centimetre (0.39 in) horizontally represents 4,000 metres (13,000 ft), the vertical exaggeration, 20×, is given by:

  5. Database scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_scalability

    Vertical database scaling implies that the database system can fully exploit maximally configured systems, including typically multiprocessors with large memories and vast storage capacity. Such systems are relatively simple to administer, but may offer reduced availability. However, any single computer has a maximum configuration.

  6. Non-dimensionalization and scaling of the Navier–Stokes ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-dimensionalization_and...

    Scaling of Navier–Stokes equation refers to the process of selecting the proper spatial scales – for a certain type of flow – to be used in the non-dimensionalization of the equation. Since the resulting equations need to be dimensionless, a suitable combination of parameters and constants of the equations and flow (domain ...

  7. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    A scale factor of 1 is normally allowed, so that congruent shapes are also classed as similar. Uniform scaling happens, for example, when enlarging or reducing a photograph, or when creating a scale model of a building, car, airplane, etc. More general is scaling with a separate scale factor for each axis direction.

  8. Horizontal and vertical décalage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_and_Vertical...

    According to these psychologists, horizontal and vertical décalage are the product of the development of the prefrontal cortex in children, which "contributes to age-related advances in flexible behavior". [8] Certain tests and studies have been conducted to show how horizontal and vertical décalage are related to neural functioning.

  9. Item response theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Item_response_theory

    The parameter stretches the horizontal scale, the parameter shifts the horizontal scale, and the parameter compresses the vertical scale from [,] to [,]. This is elaborated below. The parameter b i {\displaystyle b_{i}} represents the item location which, in the case of attainment testing, is referred to as the item difficulty.
