    A larger horizontal resolution directly increases the horizontal field of view, and a larger vertical resolution increases the vertical field of view. [11] Vert-(vertical minus) is a scaling method used by some games that support a wide variety of resolutions. In Vert- games, as the aspect ratio widens, the vertical component of the field of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shard_(database_architecture)

    Shard (database architecture) A database shard, or simply a shard, is a horizontal partition of data in a database or search engine. Each shard is held on a separate database server instance, to spread load. Some data within a database remains present in all shards, [ a] but some appear only in a single shard. Each shard (or server) acts as the ...

    The horizontal to vertical ratio of each pixel. Storage aspect ratio (SAR) The horizontal to vertical ratio of solely the number of pixels in each direction. [note 1] Display aspect ratio (DAR) The combination (which occurs by multiplication) of both the pixel aspect ratio and storage aspect ratio giving the aspect ratio as experienced by the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privilege_escalation

    Privilege escalation is the act of exploiting a bug, a design flaw, or a configuration oversight in an operating system or software application to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected from an application or user.

  7. Database scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_scalability

    Database scalability has three basic dimensions: amount of data, volume of requests and size of requests. Requests come in many sizes: transactions generally affect small amounts of data, but may approach thousands per second; analytic queries are generally fewer, but may access more data. A related concept is elasticity, the ability of a ...

    Scalability testing. Scalability testing is the testing of a software application to measure its capability to scale up or scale out in terms of any of its non-functional capability. Performance, scalability and reliability testing are usually grouped together by software quality analysts . The main goals of scalability testing are to determine ...
