The term C10k was coined in 1999 by software engineer Dan Kegel, [3] [4] citing the Simtel FTP host, cdrom.com, serving 10,000 clients at once over 1 gigabit per second Ethernet in that year. [1] The term has since been used for the general issue of large number of clients, with similar numeronyms for larger number of connections, most recently ...
Optimization typically focuses on improving a system with respect to a specific quality metric rather than making it universally optimal. This often leads to trade-offs, where enhancing one metric may come at the expense of another. One popular example is space-time tradeoff, reducing a program’s execution time by increasing its memory ...
Outside of specific contexts, computer performance is estimated in terms of accuracy, efficiency and speed of executing computer program instructions. When it comes to high computer performance, one or more of the following factors might be involved: Short response time for a given piece of work. High throughput (rate of processing work tasks).
Each task in the software development process should then be valued in terms of the chosen unit. Interval The interval is the duration of each iteration in the software development process for which the velocity is measured. The length of an interval is determined by the team. Most often, the interval is a week, but it can be as long as a month.
The importance of efficiency with respect to time was emphasized by Ada Lovelace in 1843 as applied to Charles Babbage's mechanical analytical engine: "In almost every computation a great variety of arrangements for the succession of the processes is possible, and various considerations must influence the selections amongst them for the purposes of a calculating engine.
One version of intelligence explosion is where computing power approaches infinity in a finite amount of time. In this version, once AIs are performing the research to improve themselves, speed doubles e.g. after 2 years, then 1 year, then 6 months, then 3 months, then 1.5 months, etc., where the infinite sum of the doubling periods is 4 years.
