  2. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    It cannot be balanced, it has to be damped, and while balancing is equally effective at all speeds and loads, damping has to be tailored to given operating conditions. If the shaft cannot be designed such that its resonant frequency is outside the projected operating range, e.g. for reasons of weight or cost, it must be fitted with a damper.

  3. Balanced field takeoff - Wikipedia

    Whereas, if an engine fails just below a high V 1, it will take more distance to stop, so the Accelerate Stop Distance Required is greater. [8] Alternatively, on runways longer than the balanced field length the pilot can use reduced thrust, resulting in the balanced field length again being equal to the runway length available.

  4. High-throughput computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-throughput_computing

    There are many differences between high-throughput computing, high-performance computing (HPC), and many-task computing (MTC). HPC tasks are characterized as needing large amounts of computing power for short periods of time, whereas HTC tasks also require large amounts of computing, but for much longer times (months and years, rather than hours and days).

  5. HPC Challenge Benchmark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPC_Challenge_Benchmark

    HPC Challenge Benchmark combines several benchmarks to test a number of independent attributes of the performance of high-performance computer (HPC) systems. The project has been co-sponsored by the DARPA High Productivity Computing Systems program, the United States Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.

  6. High-performance computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_computing

    TOP500 ranks the world's 500 fastest high-performance computers, as measured by the High Performance LINPACK (HPL) benchmark. Not all existing computers are ranked, either because they are ineligible (e.g., they cannot run the HPL benchmark) or because their owners have not submitted an HPL score (e.g., because they do not wish the size of their system to become public information, for defense ...

    At the same time the RB211 performance didn't deteriorate so fast due to its shorter, more rigid, three-shaft configuration. For the Boeing 777 [135] [136] the Trent 800 [137] and GE90 would incorporate two-point mounting for ovalization reduction. [138] The first high bypass fan engine, the TF39, transferred its thrust to the C5 pylon from the ...

  9. Transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line

    A balanced line is a transmission line consisting of two conductors of the same type, and equal impedance to ground and other circuits. There are many formats of balanced lines, amongst the most common are twisted pair, star quad and twin-lead.
