1Load balancing (computing) — Load balancing is a computer networking methodology to distribute workload across multiple computers or a computer cluster, network links, central processing units, disk drives, or other resources, to achieve optimal resource utilization,… …
2Load testing — is the process of creating demand on a system or device and measuring its response.In mechanical systems it refers to the testing of a system to certify it under the appropriate regulations (LOLER in the UK Lifting Operations and Lifting… …
3Load management — is the process of balancing the supply of electricity on the network with the electrical load.Electrical energy is a form of Energy that cannot be stored. It can however be traded as a commodity. It must be generated, shipped to the point where… …
4load-shedding — n. The act or process of disconnecting the electric current on certain lines when the demand becomes greater than the supply. [WordNet 1.5] …
5Load (computing) — In UNIX computing, the system load is a measure of the amount of work that a computer system is doing. The load average is the average system load over a period of time. It is conventionally given as three numbers that represent the system load… …
6Load profile — In electrical engineering, a load profile is a graph of the variation in the electrical load versus time. A load profile will vary according to customer type (typical examples include residential, commercial and industrial), temperature and… …
7Load control — One approach many electrical utilities have taken to ensure the electrical load is less than what can be generated is to exercise some form of load control. In this case, certain applications are identified as “deferrable” to run later in the day …
8Load-balanced switch — A load balanced switch is a switch architecture which guarantees 100% throughput, (the equivalent of perfect arbitration), with no central arbitration at all, at the cost of sending each packet across the crossbar twice. Load balanced switches… …
9Process (computing) — In computing, a process is an instance of a computer program that is being executed. It contains the program code and its current activity. Depending on the operating system (OS), a process may be made up of multiple threads of execution that… …
10load — 1. A departure from normal body content, as of water, salt, or heat; positive loads are quantities in excess of the normal; negative loads are quantities in deficit. 2. The quantity of a measurable …
