  2. Limits of computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_computation

    The Margolus–Levitin theorem sets a bound on the maximum computational speed per unit of energy: 6 × 10 33 operations per second per joule.This bound, however, can be avoided if there is access to quantum memory.

  3. Computer performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_performance

    The operating system may choose to adjust the scheduling of each transition (high-low or low-high) based on an internal clock. The latency is the delay between the process instruction commanding the transition and the hardware actually transitioning the voltage from high to low or low to high.

    170×10 12: Nvidia DGX-1 The initial Pascal based DGX-1 delivered 170 teraflops of half precision processing. [6] 478.2×10 12 IBM BlueGene/L 2007 Supercomputer; 960×10 12 Nvidia DGX-1 The Volta-based upgrade increased calculation power of Nvidia DGX-1 to 960 teraflops. [7]

  5. Processing speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processing_speed

    Processing speed may refer to Cognitive processing speed; Instructions per second, a measure of a computer's processing speed; Clock speed, also known as processor speed

  6. Instructions per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second

    Instructions per second (IPS) is a measure of a computer's processor speed. For complex instruction set computers (CISCs), different instructions take different amounts of time, so the value measured depends on the instruction mix; even for comparing processors in the same family the IPS measurement can be problematic.

  7. Performance per watt - Wikipedia

    A ratio of processing speed to required electrical power is more useful than raw processing speed. ... a low cost desktop Beowulf cluster of four dual-core Athlon 64 ...

  8. Amdahl's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law

    An implication of Amdahl's law is that to speed up real applications which have both serial and parallel portions, heterogeneous computing techniques are required. [12] There are novel speedup and energy consumption models based on a more general representation of heterogeneity, referred to as the normal form heterogeneity, that support a wide ...

  9. Latency (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Latency, from a general point of view, is a time delay between the cause and the effect of some physical change in the system being observed. Lag, as it is known in gaming circles, refers to the latency between the input to a simulation and the visual or auditory response, often occurring because of network delay in online games.
