throughput
(redirected from throughputs)

throughput

The speed with which a computer processes data. It is a combination of internal processing speed, peripheral speeds (I/O) and the efficiency of the operating system and other system software all working together.


throughput
the quantity of raw material or information processed or communicated in a given period, esp by a computer

throughput [′thrü‚pu̇t]
(chemical engineering)
The volume of feedstock charged to a process equipment unit during a specified time.
(communications)
A measure of the effective rate of transmission of data by a communications system.
(computer science)
The productivity of a data-processing system, as expressed in computing work per minute or hour.
(mining engineering)
The quantity of ore or other material passed through a mill or a section of a mill in a given time or at a given rate.

1.throughput - The rate at which a processor can work expressed in instructions per second or jobs per hour or some other unit of performance.
2.(communications)throughput - data transfer rate.

Consequently, extrusion systems used for straining resulted in very large extruders producing relatively small throughputs.
The unique platform can analyze individual assays at throughputs of four to eight seconds per sample--a dramatic increase in throughput over conventional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry systems.
These tests have verified that a shortened 120 mm Transfermix extruder and 110 mm gear pump combination delivers throughputs ranging between 1,800-2,200 kg/h for standard SBR compounds and between 1,000-1,600 kg/h for highly viscous NR compounds (with Mooney values of ML (1+4) > 100), which is comparable to the throughput of conventional single screw 150 mm extruders.
