  2. Response time (technology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_time_(technology)

    Ignoring transmission time for a moment, the response time is the sum of the service time and wait time. The service time is the time it takes to do the work you requested. For a given request the service time varies little as the workload increases – to do X amount of work it always takes X amount of time.

    Response time (biology), the elapsed time from the presentation of a sensory stimulus to the completion of the subsequent behavioral response; Response time (technology), the time a generic system or functional unit takes to react to a given input Display response time, the amount of time a pixel in a display takes to change; Round-trip delay ...

  6. Space–time tradeoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space–time_tradeoff

    A space–time trade off can be applied to the problem of data storage. If data is stored uncompressed, it takes more space but access takes less time than if the data were stored compressed (since compressing the data reduces the amount of space it takes, but it takes time to run the decompression algorithm). Depending on the particular ...

  7. Returns to scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Returns_to_scale

    In the long run, all factors of production are variable and subject to change in response to a given increase in production scale. In other words, returns to scale analysis is a long-term theory because a company can only change the scale of production in the long run by changing factors of production, such as building new facilities, investing ...

  8. Hard disk drive performance characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive...

    The access time or response time of a rotating drive is a measure of the time it takes before the drive can actually transfer data. The factors that control this time on a rotating drive are mostly related to the mechanical nature of the rotating disks and moving heads. It is composed of a few independently measurable elements that are added ...

  9. Rebound effect (conservation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebound_effect_(conservation)

    In energy conservation and energy economics, the rebound effect (or take-back effect) is the reduction in expected gains from new technologies that increase the efficiency of resource use, because of behavioral or other systemic responses.
