ThroughputLe throughput est le taux de production ou la vitesse à laquelle quelque chose peut être traitée. Ce terme peut aussi désigner le débit global d'un routeur ou d'un nœud du réseau. Lorsqu'il est utilisé dans le cadre des réseaux de télécommunications, tels que ethernet ou un réseau radio en mode paquet, le throughput d'un réseau est le débit de transmission utile du réseau sur un canal de communication (messages reçus avec succès). Les données de ces messages peuvent être émises sur un lien physique ou logique, ou bien à travers un nœud du réseau.
Bandwidth (computing)In computing, bandwidth is the maximum rate of data transfer across a given path. Bandwidth may be characterized as network bandwidth, data bandwidth, or digital bandwidth. This definition of bandwidth is in contrast to the field of signal processing, wireless communications, modem data transmission, digital communications, and electronics, in which bandwidth is used to refer to analog signal bandwidth measured in hertz, meaning the frequency range between lowest and highest attainable frequency while meeting a well-defined impairment level in signal power.
Measuring network throughputThroughput of a network can be measured using various tools available on different platforms. This page explains the theory behind what these tools set out to measure and the issues regarding these measurements. Reasons for measuring throughput in networks. People are often concerned about measuring the maximum data throughput in bits per second of a communications link or network access. A typical method of performing a measurement is to transfer a 'large' file from one system to another system and measure the time required to complete the transfer or copy of the file.
Bandwidth-delay productIn data communications, the bandwidth-delay product is the product of a data link's capacity (in bits per second) and its round-trip delay time (in seconds). The result, an amount of data measured in bits (or bytes), is equivalent to the maximum amount of data on the network circuit at any given time, i.e., data that has been transmitted but not yet acknowledged. The bandwidth-delay product was originally proposed as a rule of thumb for sizing router buffers in conjunction with congestion avoidance algorithm random early detection (RED).
Méthode de la puissance itéréeEn mathématiques, la méthode de la puissance itérée ou méthode des puissances est un algorithme pour calculer la valeur propre dominante d'une matrice. Bien que cet algorithme soit simple à mettre en œuvre et populaire, il ne converge pas très vite. Étant donné une matrice A, on cherche une valeur propre de plus grand module et un vecteur propre associé. Le calcul de valeurs propres n'est en général pas possible directement (avec une formule close) : on utilise alors des méthodes itératives, et la méthode des puissances est la plus simple d'entre elles.
Audio system measurementsAudio system measurements are a means of quantifying system performance. These measurements are made for several purposes. Designers take measurements so that they can specify the performance of a piece of equipment. Maintenance engineers make them to ensure equipment is still working to specification, or to ensure that the cumulative defects of an audio path are within limits considered acceptable. Audio system measurements often accommodate psychoacoustic principles to measure the system in a way that relates to human hearing.
Arnoldi iterationIn numerical linear algebra, the Arnoldi iteration is an eigenvalue algorithm and an important example of an iterative method. Arnoldi finds an approximation to the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of general (possibly non-Hermitian) matrices by constructing an orthonormal basis of the Krylov subspace, which makes it particularly useful when dealing with large sparse matrices. The Arnoldi method belongs to a class of linear algebra algorithms that give a partial result after a small number of iterations, in contrast to so-called direct methods which must complete to give any useful results (see for example, Householder transformation).
