  2. Bottleneck (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottleneck_(engineering)

    In engineering, a bottleneck is a phenomenon by which the performance or capacity of an entire system is severely limited by a single component. The component is sometimes called a bottleneck point. The term is metaphorically derived from the neck of a bottle, where the flow speed of the liquid is limited by its neck.

  3. Drain-induced barrier lowering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-induced_barrier_lowering

    As a result, the charge present on the gate retains charge balance by attracting more carriers into the channel, an effect equivalent to lowering the threshold voltage of the device. In effect, the channel becomes more attractive for electrons. In other words, the potential energy barrier for electrons in the channel is lowered. Hence the term ...

  4. Information bottleneck method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_bottleneck_method

    The information bottleneck method is a technique in information theory introduced by Naftali Tishby, Fernando C. Pereira, and William Bialek. [1] It is designed for finding the best tradeoff between accuracy and complexity (compression) when summarizing (e.g. clustering) a random variable X, given a joint probability distribution p(X,Y) between X and an observed relevant variable Y - and self ...

  5. Bottleneck traveling salesman problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottleneck_traveling...

    In an asymmetric bottleneck TSP, there are cases where the weight from node A to B is different from the weight from B to A (e. g. travel time between two cities with a traffic jam in one direction). The Euclidean bottleneck TSP, or planar bottleneck TSP, is the bottleneck TSP with the distance being the ordinary Euclidean distance. The problem ...

  6. Linear bottleneck assignment problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_bottleneck...

    The term "bottleneck" is explained by a common type of application of the problem, where the cost is the duration of the task performed by an agent. In this setting the "maximum cost" is "maximum duration", which is the bottleneck for the schedule of the overall job, to be minimized.

  7. Amdahl's law - Wikipedia

    Then we are told that the 1st part is not sped up, so s1 = 1, while the 2nd part is sped up 5 times, so s2 = 5, the 3rd part is sped up 20 times, so s3 = 20, and the 4th part is sped up 1.6 times, so s4 = 1.6. By using Amdahl's law, the overall speedup is

  8. Bell test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test

    The Bell test has its origins in the debate between Einstein and other pioneers of quantum physics, principally Niels Bohr.One feature of the theory of quantum mechanics under debate was the meaning of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

  9. Barometer question - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometer_question

    The barometer question is an example of an incorrectly designed examination question demonstrating functional fixedness that causes a moral dilemma for the examiner. In its classic form, popularized by American test designer professor Alexander Calandra in the 1960s, the question asked the student to "show how it is possible to determine the ...
