  2. Scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability

    Scaling horizontally (out/in) means adding or removing nodes, such as adding a new computer to a distributed software application. An example might involve scaling out from one web server to three. High-performance computing applications, such as seismic analysis and biotechnology , scale workloads horizontally to support tasks that once would ...

  3. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    Such a scaling changes the diameter of an object by a factor between the scale factors, the area by a factor between the smallest and the largest product of two scale factors, and the volume by the product of all three. The scaling is uniform if and only if the scaling factors are equal (v x = v y = v z). If all except one of the scale factors ...

  4. Vertical and horizontal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_and_horizontal

    The word horizontal is derived from the Latin horizon, which derives from the Greek ὁρῐ́ζων, meaning 'separating' or 'marking a boundary'. [2] The word vertical is derived from the late Latin verticalis, which is from the same root as vertex, meaning 'highest point' or more literally the 'turning point' such as in a whirlpool.

    An image size can be changed in several ways. Consider resizing a 160x160 pixel photo to the following 40x40 pixel thumbnail and then scaling the thumbnail to a 160x160 pixel image. Also consider doubling the size of the following image containing text.

  6. Scale analysis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_analysis_(mathematics)

    In synoptic scale we can expect horizontal velocities about U = 10 1 m.s −1 and vertical about W = 10 −2 m.s −1. Horizontal scale is L = 10 6 m and vertical scale is H = 10 4 m. Typical time scale is T = L/U = 10 5 s. Pressure differences in troposphere are ΔP = 10 4 Pa and density of air ρ = 10 0 kg⋅m −3. Other physical properties ...

  7. Scale (ratio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(ratio)

    There is no fixed dividing line between small and large scales.) A scale model is a representation or copy of an object that is larger or smaller than the actual size of the object being represented. Very often the scale model is smaller than the original and used as a guide to making the object in full size. —

  8. Scalability testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability_testing

    Vertical scaling, also known as scaling up, is the process of replacing a component with a device that is generally more powerful or improved. For example, replacing a processor with a faster one. Horizontal scaling, also known as scaling out is setting up another server for example to run in parallel with the original so they share the workload.

  9. Image scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scaling

    Image scaling can be interpreted as a form of image resampling or image reconstruction from the view of the Nyquist sampling theorem.According to the theorem, downsampling to a smaller image from a higher-resolution original can only be carried out after applying a suitable 2D anti-aliasing filter to prevent aliasing artifacts.
