  2. Gigabit Ethernet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabit_Ethernet

    Gigabit Ethernet. Intel PRO/1000 GT PCI network interface controller. In computer networking, Gigabit Ethernet ( GbE or 1 GigE) is the term applied to transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of a gigabit per second. The most popular variant, 1000BASE-T, is defined by the IEEE 802.3ab standard. It came into use in 1999, and has replaced Fast ...

  3. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

    A typical method of performing a measurement is to transfer a 'large' file from one system to another system and measure the time required to complete the transfer or copy of the file. The throughput is then calculated by dividing the file size by the time to get the throughput in megabits, kilobits, or bits per second.

  4. Instructions per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second

    Instructions per second. Instructions per second ( IPS) is a measure of a computer 's processor speed. For complex instruction set computers (CISCs), different instructions take different amounts of time, so the value measured depends on the instruction mix; even for comparing processors in the same family the IPS measurement can be problematic.

  5. Speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_Light

    v. t. e. The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted c, is a universal physical constant that is exactly equal to 299,792,458 metres per second (approximately 300,000 kilometres per second; 186,000 miles per second; 671 million miles per hour).

  6. Earth's rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_rotation

    The angular speed of Earth's rotation in inertial space is (7.292 115 0 ± 0.000 000 1) × 10 ^ −5 radians per SI second. [35] [n 4] Multiplying by (180°/π radians) × (86,400 seconds/day) yields 360.985 6 °/day , indicating that Earth rotates more than 360 degrees relative to the fixed stars in one solar day.

  7. Speedof.me - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedof.me

    SpeedOf.Me is an internet speed test service which uses browser capabilities such as HTML5 and JavaScript to test the internet speed of the user. SpeedOf.Me utilizes multiple servers around the world, with the server used being chosen automatically based on location. [1] [2] It is financed through its paid API [3] as well as an advertising ...

  8. Film speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed

    The ISO arithmetic speed has a useful property for photographers without the equipment for taking a metered light reading. Correct exposure will usually be achieved for a frontlighted scene in bright sun if the aperture of the lens is set to f/16 and the shutter speed is the reciprocal of the ISO film speed (e.g. 1/100 second for 100 ISO film).

  9. FLOPS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOPS

    FLOPS. Floating point operations per second ( FLOPS, flops or flop/s) is a measure of computer performance in computing, useful in fields of scientific computations that require floating-point calculations. [1]
