  2. Scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability

    Scalability is the property of a system to handle a growing amount of work. One definition for software systems specifies that this may be done by adding resources to the system. [1] In an economic context, a scalable business model implies that a company can increase sales given increased resources. For example, a package delivery system is ...

  3. Vertical exaggeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_exaggeration

    The vertical exaggeration is given by: = where VS is the vertical scale and HS is the horizontal scale, both given as representative fractions.. For example, if 1 centimetre (0.39 in) vertically represents 200 metres (660 ft) and 1 centimetre (0.39 in) horizontally represents 4,000 metres (13,000 ft), the vertical exaggeration, 20×, is given by:

  4. 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.

  5. Field of view in video games - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view_in_video_games

    A larger horizontal resolution directly increases the horizontal field of view, and a larger vertical resolution increases the vertical field of view. [11] Vert-(vertical minus) is a scaling method used by some games that support a wide variety of resolutions. In Vert- games, as the aspect ratio widens, the vertical component of the field of ...

  6. Database scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_scalability

    Database scalability has three basic dimensions: amount of data, volume of requests and size of requests. Requests come in many sizes: transactions generally affect small amounts of data, but may approach thousands per second; analytic queries are generally fewer, but may access more data. A related concept is elasticity, the ability of a ...

  7. Comparison gallery of image scaling algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_gallery_of...

    Pixel art scaling algorithms (GemCutter) An adaptable technique which can deliver variable amounts of detail or smoothness. It aims to preserve the shape and coordinates of original details, without blurring those details into neighboring ones. It will avoid blending pixels which directly touch each other, and instead only blend pixels with ...

  8. Display resolution standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution_standards

    Such a resolution can vertically scale SD content to fit by natural numbers (6 for NTSC and 5 for PAL). Horizontal scaling of SD is always fractional (non-anamorphic: 5.33...5.47, anamorphic: 7.11...7.29). The first display with this resolution was the Dell UltraSharp UP2715K, announced on September 5, 2014. [67]

  9. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In affine geometry, uniform scaling (or isotropic scaling[1]) is a linear transformation that enlarges (increases) or shrinks (diminishes) objects by a scale factor that is the same in all directions (isotropically). The result of uniform scaling is similar (in the geometric sense) to the original. A scale factor of 1 is normally allowed, so ...
