    cloud gaming A cloud gaming server runs the game, receiving controller input actions from and streaming audio and video to the player's thin client. cloud save The player's saved game is stored at a remote server. This may provide a backup, or enable access from a different game system. See also cross-save. clutch

  3. 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.

  4. CPU-bound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU-bound

    Establishing that a computer is frequently CPU-bound implies that upgrading the CPU or optimizing code will improve the overall computer performance. With the advent of multiple buses, parallel processing, multiprogramming , preemptive scheduling, advanced graphics cards , advanced sound cards and generally, more decentralized loads, it became ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_processing_unit

    The idea is having specialized processors offload time-consuming tasks from a computer's CPU, much like how a GPU performs graphics operations in the main CPU's place. The term was coined by Ageia to describe its PhysX chip. Several other technologies in the CPU-GPU spectrum have some features in common with it, although Ageia's product was the ...

    As such not only does it load the CPU 100% but will also test other parts of CPU not used under applications like Prime 95. Other applications to consider are SiSoft 2012 or Passmark BurnIn. Be advised validation has not been completed using Prime 95 version 26 and LinX (10.3.7.012) and OCCT 4.1.0 beta 1 but once we have internally tested to ...

    The SX-9 features the first CPU capable of a peak vector performance of 102.4 gigaFLOPS per single core. On February 4, 2008, the NSF and the University of Texas at Austin opened full scale research runs on an AMD , Sun supercomputer named Ranger , [ 44 ] the most powerful supercomputing system in the world for open science research, which ...

  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.
