In software engineering, cycle time is a software metric which estimates development speed in software projects. [1] [2] The cycle time measures how long it takes to process a given job - whether it's a client request, an order, or a defined production process stage. The crucial aspect of measuring the cycle time is considering only the active ...

In computer architecture, cycles per instruction (aka clock cycles per instruction, clocks per instruction, or CPI) is one aspect of a processor's performance: the average number of clock cycles per instruction for a program or program fragment. [1] It is the multiplicative inverse of instructions per cycle.
One Callippic cycle corresponds to: 940 synodic months; 1,020.084 draconic months; 80.084 eclipse years (160 eclipse seasons); 1,007.410 anomalistic months; The 80 eclipse years means that if there is a solar eclipse (or lunar eclipse), then after one callippic cycle a New Moon (resp. Full Moon) will take place at the same node of the orbit of the Moon, and under these circumstances another ...
The table shows the long years in a 400-year cycle. There are 28 years, i.e. a Julian solar cycle, between long years in the same column except when the century changes, when there are 40 years between the long years in the next century and the last completely filled row (or subcycle) of the previous century. There are ten regular subcycles of ...
A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar.The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars.
A charge cycle is the process of charging a rechargeable battery and discharging it as required into a load.The term is typically used to specify a battery's expected life, as the number of charge cycles affects life more than the mere passage of time.
The number of instructions per second is an approximate indicator of the likely performance of the processor. The number of instructions executed per clock is not a constant for a given processor; it depends on how the particular software being run interacts with the processor, and indeed the entire machine, particularly the memory hierarchy.
