Definition of fan-out in English English dictionary
An optimized method of passing messages when a single PE is sending a message to multiple PEs Rather than the sending PE sending the message to every PE, it sends the message to a subset of the PEs Then the PEs that received the message in turn send it to a subset of the remaining PEs, and so on See Figure 2-1, for an illustration of the process
A board or other device which receives a signal, replicates it, and sends it out to a number of devices
The maximum number of input terminals that can be connected to the output terminal of a specified logic gate
The ratio of storage devices to hosts It is the view of the SAN from the host port's perspective
The maximum number of TTL loads that a TTL device can drive reliably over the specified temperature range The number to gates connected to the output of a particular gate
The measure of the driving capability of an oscillator, expressed as the number of inputs that can be driven by a single output It can be represented by an equivalent load capacitance specified at pF in CMOS logic or the number of gates in TTL load circuit consisting of diodes, load resistors, and a capacitor If this value exceeds the maximum rated load of the oscillator, signal degradation can occur
The number of inputs that the output of a particular IC can be connected to without overloading the output
[in printing] the distortion of paper on-press due to waviness resulting from absorption of moisture at the paper's edge, particularly across the grain
In printing, distortion of paper on the press due to waviness in the paper caused by absorption of moisture at the edges of the paper, particularly across the grain
If a group of people or things fan out, they move forwards away from a particular point in different directions. The main body of British, American, and French troops had fanned out to the west = spread out
The maximum number of output wires any gate in a circuit can have When talking about "circuits," one usually assumes unbounded fanout unless specified otherwise A formula is a circuit where each gate has fanout 1
A multiport transceiver used in Ethernet networks It requires only one transceiver for connection to an Ethernet bus and allows several DTEs to be connected to it
Distortion of paper on the press due to waviness in the paper caused by absorption of moisture at the edges of the paper, particularly across the grain
