  2. Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

    The run-time for a battery-operated UPS depends on the type and size of batteries and rate of discharge, and the efficiency of the inverter. The total capacity of a lead–acid battery is a function of the rate at which it is discharged, which is described as Peukert's law. Manufacturers supply run-time rating in minutes for packaged UPS systems.

  3. Speedup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedup

    Speedup in latency is defined by the following formula: [2] = =, where S latency is the speedup in latency of the architecture 2 with respect to the architecture 1; L 1 is the latency of the architecture 1; L 2 is the latency of the architecture 2.

  4. Lookup table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookup_table

    In computer science, a lookup table (LUT) is an array that replaces runtime computation with a simpler array indexing operation, in a process termed as direct addressing.The savings in processing time can be significant, because retrieving a value from memory is often faster than carrying out an "expensive" computation or input/output operation. [1]

  5. Amdahl's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law

    In computer architecture, Amdahl's law (or Amdahl's argument [1]) is a formula that shows how much faster a task can be completed when you add more resources to the system. The law can be stated as: "the overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is ...

  6. Overhead (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_(computing)

    In software engineering, overhead can influence the decision whether or not to include features in new products, or indeed whether to fix bugs.A feature that has a high overhead may not be included – or needs a big financial incentive to do so.

    Here's perhaps the most obvious reason Die Hard is definitively a Christmas film: It's set at Christmastime, and that element is integral—creatively and humorously—throughout its 132-minute ...

  9. Time complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_complexity

    Graphs of functions commonly used in the analysis of algorithms, showing the number of operations N as the result of input size n for each function. In theoretical computer science, the time complexity is the computational complexity that describes the amount of computer time it takes to run an algorithm.
