  2. Scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability

    Scalability is the property of a system to handle a growing amount of work. One definition for software systems specifies that this may be done by adding resources to the system. [ 1] In an economic context, a scalable business model implies that a company can increase sales given increased resources. For example, a package delivery system is ...

  3. Mesoscale convective system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoscale_convective_system

    A mesoscale convective system ( MCS) is a complex of thunderstorms that becomes organized on a scale larger than the individual thunderstorms but smaller than extratropical cyclones, and normally persists for several hours or more. A mesoscale convective system's overall cloud and precipitation pattern may be round or linear in shape, and ...

  4. Database scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_scalability

    Database scalability has three basic dimensions: amount of data, volume of requests and size of requests. Requests come in many sizes: transactions generally affect small amounts of data, but may approach thousands per second; analytic queries are generally fewer, but may access more data. A related concept is elasticity, the ability of a ...

  5. Data lineage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_lineage

    The biggest plus point is that horizontal scaling can be done using commodity hardware. The horizontal scaling feature of Big Data systems should be taken into account while creating the architecture of lineage store. This is essential because the lineage store itself should also be able to scale in parallel with the Big data system. The number ...

  6. 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.

  7. Model of hierarchical complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_of_hierarchical...

    The model of hierarchical complexity (MHC) is a formal theory and a mathematical psychology framework for scoring how complex a behavior is. [4] Developed by Michael Lamport Commons and colleagues, [3] it quantifies the order of hierarchical complexity of a task based on mathematical principles of how the information is organized, [5] in terms ...

  8. List of cloud types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cloud_types

    The list of cloud types groups all genera as high (cirro-, cirrus), middle (alto-), multi-level (nimbo-, cumulo-, cumulus), and low (strato-, stratus). These groupings are determined by the altitude level or levels in the troposphere at which each of the various cloud types is normally found. Small cumulus are commonly grouped with the low ...

  9. Technical drawing tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing_tool

    Technical drawing tool. Appearance. Drafting tools may be used for measurement and layout of drawings, or to improve the consistency and speed of creation of standard drawing elements. Tools such as pens and pencils mark the drawing medium. Other tools such as straight edges, assist the operator in drawing straight lines, or assist the operator ...
