speed-up

Definition of speed-up in English English dictionary: {i} acceleration; increase in the rate of production that a managing body demands from its employees; To accelerate, to increase speed
speedup: An amount or rate of decrease in time taken
speedup: The relationship between time taken and number of processors used
speed up: move faster; "The car accelerated"
speed up: cause to move faster; "He accelerated the car"
speed up: When something speeds up or when you speed it up, it moves or travels faster. You notice that your breathing has speeded up a bit He pushed a lever that speeded up the car
speed up: When a process or activity speeds up or when something speeds it up, it happens at a faster rate. Job losses are speeding up I had already taken steps to speed up a solution to the problem I kept praying that the DJ would speed the music up
speed up: {f} increase velocity, move quicker; cause something move faster
speedup: SN, is defined as the ratio of the run-time of a serial algorithm run on a serial computer (TS) to the run-time of a parallel version (parallel algorithm) of the algorithm (TP) run on a parallel computer with N processors
speedup: A measure of how much faster a given program runs when executed in parallel on several processors as compared to serial execution on a single processor Speedup is defined as S = sequential run time / parallel run time
speedup: A measure of parallel program performance, comparing the speed of execution on P processors with (usually) the speed of execution on 1 If TP is the time taken on P processors, and T1 the time on 1, then speedup is defined as SP = T1 / TP cf Amdahl's Law
speedup: The ration of two program execution times If t1 is the time to run a program on one processor, and tP the time to run it on P processors, then the speedup is S=t1/tP Speedup is usually discussed as a function of the number of processors, but it is usually also a function of problem size [Wil93]
speedup: An acceleration, to go faster
speedup: an increase in the speed of something or in the rate at which a process happens speedup in
speedup: Speedup is a multiplier indicating how many times faster the parallel program is than its sequential counterpart If Tseq is the time taken by the sequential program (on one node) and T(P) is the time taken by the parallel program on N nodes, speedup S is given by the following
speedup: An employer initiated increase in production; usually achieved through means over which the employee has no control Speedup can occur in the case of machine-paced assembly lines (auto industry) or disassembly lines (meatpacking) where the speed of the line is controlled exclusively by management-often to the mental and physical detriment of workers
speedup: the act of accelerating; increasing the speed
