    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view_in_video_games

    A field of view. In first person video games, the field of view or field of vision (abbreviated FOV) is the extent of the observable game world that is seen on the display at any given moment. It is typically measured as an angle, although whether this angle is the horizontal, vertical, or diagonal component of the field of view varies from ...

  3. Scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability

    Scalability is the property of a system to handle a growing amount of work. One definition for software systems specifies that this may be done by adding resources to the system. [ 1] In an economic context, a scalable business model implies that a company can increase sales given increased resources. For example, a package delivery system is ...

  4. Scalability testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability_testing

    Vertical scaling, also known as scaling up, is the process of replacing a component with a device that is generally more powerful or improved. For example, replacing a processor with a faster one. Horizontal scaling, also known as scaling out is setting up another server for example to run in parallel with the original so they share the workload.

    CloudSim is a framework for modeling and simulation of cloud computing infrastructures and services. Originally built primarily at the Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory, the University of Melbourne, Australia, CloudSim has become one of the most popular open source [citation needed] cloud simulators in the research and academia.

  7. Vertical exaggeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_exaggeration

    The vertical exaggeration is given by: = where VS is the vertical scale and HS is the horizontal scale, both given as representative fractions.. For example, if 1 centimetre (0.39 in) vertically represents 200 metres (660 ft) and 1 centimetre (0.39 in) horizontally represents 4,000 metres (13,000 ft), the vertical exaggeration, 20×, is given by:

    Simulation video games are a diverse super-category of video games, generally designed to closely simulate real world activities. [ 1] A simulation game attempts to copy various activities from real life in the form of a game for various purposes such as training, analysis, prediction, or entertainment. Usually there are no strictly defined ...

  9. Scale analysis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_analysis_(mathematics)

    Scale analysis (mathematics) Scale analysis (or order-of-magnitude analysis) is a powerful tool used in the mathematical sciences for the simplification of equations with many terms. First the approximate magnitude of individual terms in the equations is determined. Then some negligibly small terms may be ignored.
