Capable of being scaled
Able to support the required quality of service as the system load increases
{s} climbable; can be scaled; can be resized
Refers to a software application's or a hardware device's ability to migrate from small operations to large operations with little effort or cost
A system or architecture is scalable when it can be changed in size or configuration to suit changing conditions For example, a company that plans to set up a client/server network may want to have a system that not only works with the number of people who will immediately use the system, but the number who may be using it in one year, five years, or ten years
Means it can expand without running into some unknown performance ceiling or bottleneck
Of parallel programs, delivering an increase in performance with a corresponding increase in size Typically, this means "more processors equals better (faster) performance"
A system is scalable if it can be made to have more (or less) computational power by configuring it with a larger (or smaller) number of processors, amount of memory, interconnection bandwidth, input/output bandwidth, and amount of mass storage
A distributed-parallel processing system joins multiple computers (or multiple CPU's) together into one system (or one machine) to achieve higher performance than a single computer (or a single CPU) In such a system, the number of computers (or CPU's) is changed according to performance requirements A distributed-parallel processing system is called `scalable' if the system is able to cope with the change of the number of computers (or CPU's), i e the change of the scale There are two types of scalable system; one requires applications to be rewritten whenever the scale is changed, and the other just needs simple recompilation or reconfiguration SSS-PC is a scalable system of the latter type
A marketing term used to sell defective software to executives at wealthy Web publishing companies The Web is fundamentally about processing updates from thousands of concurrent users This is what database management systems were built for Smart engineers build Web services so that if the database is up and running, the Web site will be up and running Period Adding more users to the site will inevitably require adding capacity to the database management system, no matter what other software is employed The thoughtful engineer will realize that a provably scalable site is one that relies on no other software besides the database management system (or that cheats with a thin layer of simple, reliable open-source software such as AOLserver or Apache)
the ability of a product or network to accommodate growth
The property of a multiprocessing computer that defines the extent to which addition of more processors increases aggregate computing capability Windows NT Server 4 0 is generally considered to be scalable to eight Intel processors
Ability to deliver an increase in application performance proportional to an increase in hardware resources (normally, adding more processors)
Refers to hardware components whose speed or storage capacity can be increased incrementally (pg 144)
The ability for a resource to increase in capacity in order to meet increasing workloads over a period of time Scalability specifies how a metric varies with load For example, if a SQL Server application is now running 1000 transactions per minutes, but later is running 2000 transactions per minutes with only a proportional increase in hardware utilization, then the application could be considered scalable
capable of being scaled; possible to scale; "the scalable slope of a mountain
The ability to upgrade seamlessly the capabilities of the system through either hardware upgrades, software upgrades, or both
capable of being scaled; possible to scale; "the scalable slope of a mountain"
The ability to seamlessly upgrade the capabilities of the system through either hardware upgrades, software upgrades, or both (11)
A popular buzzword that refers to how well a hardware or software system can adapt to increased demands Anything whose size or configuration can be changed For example, a font is said to be scalable if it can be represented in different sizes
The ability to increase the size and complexity of a business to meet increasing demand
The property of multiprocessing computers that defines the extent to which addition of more processors increases aggregate computing capability Windows NT Server 4 0 is generally considered to be scalable to eight Intel processors
Pertaining to the capability of a system to adapt readily to a greater or lesser intensity of use, volume, or demand
The ability of a solution to some problem to work when the difficulty of the problem increases For this research the scalability is related to the mechanical engineering problem of component optimization, the methodology is scalable for it can be adapted from two-dimensional sizing designs to three-dimensional shape designs with no change in the methodology
Scalable computing systems have the property that the size of a system and its performance are proportional
Capable of being increased in size, or more accurately, capable of delivering an increase in performance proportional to an increase in size A scalable architecture is one that can be used as a design for arbitrarily large machines, or one whose increase in performance is linear in the amount of hardware invested The term is also applied to programming systems, although its meaning is less clear in these cases It is generally used to imply that the methods and algorithms employed in such systems are in principle capable of performing correctly equally well on large and small hardware systems
scalable font
(Computers) outline font, font that is based on vector graphics, non-bitmap font that can be enlarged without distorting its shape (such as PostScript or True Type fonts)
