{s} consisting of granules; grainy; coarse; resembling grain
The texture of groups or masses of minerals is said to be granular when distinct crystal faces are absent and the individual grains are about equal in length, breadth and height Grains of salt and sand are examples of granular minerals Granular texture is contrasted with crystalline texture
Fertilizer particles sized between an upper and lower limit or between two screen sizes, usually within the range of 1 to 4 mm and often more closely sized The desired size may be obtained by agglomerating smaller particles, crushing and screening larger particles, controlling size in crystallization processes, or prilling

granular configuration automation
A specialized area in the field of Configuration Management that focuses on the visibility and control of an IT Environment’s configuration and bill-of-material at the most granular level. IT managers can leverage this strategy to reach the next level of automation and efficiency for their Physical, Virtual or Cloud-based IT environments, and finally close the gap that is responsible for major stability incidents. The application of granular configuration automation empowers IT managers to operate based on complete knowledge of the IT environments that they manage. This knowledge is collected from the granular level of IT environment data, and is collected from any source

granularity
The degree to which a system contains separate components Systems with greater granularity are more flexible
granularity
A term often used in parallel processing to indicate independent processes that could be distributed to multiple CPUs Fine granularity is illustrated by execution of statements or small loop iterations as separate processes; coarse granularity involves subroutines or sets of subroutines as separate processes The more processes, the "finer" the granularity and the more overhead required to keep track of them Granularity can also be related to the temporal duration of a "task" at work It is not only the number of processes but also how much work each process does, relative to the time of synchronization, that determines the overhead and reduces speedup figures
granularity
{i} being in the form of pellets; being in the form of grains
granularity
(n ) The size of operations done by a process between communications events A fine grained process may perform only a few arithmetic operations between processing one message and the next, whereas a coarse grained process may perform millions See also computation-to-communication ratio
granularity
Measure of the work done between synchronization points Fine-grained applications focus on execution at the instruction level of a program Such applications are load balanced but suffer from a low computation/communication ratio Coarse-grained applications focus on execution at the program level where multiple programs may be executed in parallel
granularity
The relative fineness or coarseness by which a mechanism may be
granularity
non-uniformity of photosensitive film emulsion, causing light scatter
granularity
a distribution has this characteristic if it has values occuring only at fixed intervals
granularity
An image fill that gradually transitions from one color to another; commonly used in graphics editors
granularity
Degree of summarization of data
granularity
The size of the operations done by a process between communication events A ``fine-grained'' process may perform only a few arithmetic operations between processing one message and the next, while a ``coarse-grained'' process may perform millions [Wil93]
granularity
The relative fineness or coarseness by which a mechanism can be adjusted The phrase "the granularity of a single user" means the access control mechanism can be adjusted to include or exclude any single user
granularity
Fineness, or atomic density of data; e g , fine granularity might be duration in seconds, coarse granularity in days Fine granularity is high atomic density, coarse is low Detailed, operational data is fine; summary is coarse
granularity
The degree to which something is granular
granularity
The level of detail at which an information object or resource is viewed or described
granularity
the quality of being composed of relatively large particles
granularity
An objective measurement which correlates with the subjective appearance of graininess This and similar objective measurements indicate the ability of a film to record an image in terms that are meaningful from the standpoint of the appearance and usefulness of the photograph Granularity is the value published in the film data sheet for Kodak aerial films, and it is given as the root-mean-square (rms) granularity value
granularity
Describes the level of detail in a database A retail database that contains a separate detailed record down to the SKU level for every transaction would have high granularity
granularity
the level at which an item is described
granularity

granularity
The relative fineness or coarseness by which a mechanism can be adjusted
granularity
The ratio between the amount of computation each processor does and the amount of interprocessor communication which takes place See fine-grained parallelism and course-grained parallelism
