What is throughput?
Performance of a CPU s can be measured & compared in terms of its 'number of millions of instructions it could execute in a second' i.e., MIPS. Out of the number of MIPS, how …much usefull/successfull instructions are executed by a CPU is called its 'throughput'. Answer 2 .
General: Productivity of a machine, procedure, process, or system over a unit period, expressed in a figure-of-merit or a term meaningful in the given context, such as output per hour, cash turnover, number of orders shipped. .
Computing: Measure of a computer system's overall performance in sending data through all its components, such as the processor, buses, storage devices. Throughput is more meaningful indicator of system performance than raw clock speed (now measured in giga hertz) advertised by computer vendors. .
Data communications: Measure of the efficiency of a network expressed as the data transfer rate of useful and non-redundant information. It depends on factors such as bandwidth, linecongestion, error correction, etc ( Full Answer )
