Throughput is how much gets all the way through a system in a given time — how many goods a factory finishes in a day, how many patients a clinic sees in a week, how much data a network carries in a second. The key idea is 'through': not how much went in, and not how much is sitting inside waiting, but how much came out the other end.
Throughput is how much gets all the way through a system in a given timeThroughput指的是在特定時間內,真正完整通過一個系統的量: how many goods a factory finishes in a day工廠一天完成多少產品, how many patients a clinic sees in a week診所一週看多少病人, how much data a network carries in a second網路一秒鐘傳輸多少資料. The key idea is 'through'關鍵在於「through(通過)」這個概念: not how much went in, and not how much is sitting inside waiting不是進去了多少,也不是卡在裡面等待的有多少, but how much came out the other end而是從另一端真正出來了多少
That is why managers and engineers like the word — a factory can be very busy and still have poor throughput, because being busy is not the same as finishing things. You meet it in business, manufacturing, computing and logistics. In computing it is especially common for networks and disks, where people also loosely call it 'speed', though throughput and speed are not quite the same thing.
That is why managers and engineers like the word這就是為什麼主管和工程師喜歡用這個字: a factory can be very busy and still have poor throughput一間工廠可能非常忙碌,throughput卻很差, because being busy is not the same as finishing things因為忙碌不等於把事情做完. You meet it in business, manufacturing, computing and logistics在商業、製造、電腦和物流領域都會遇到這個字. In computing it is especially common for networks and disks在電腦領域,網路和硬碟最常用到這個字, where people also loosely call it 'speed'人們也常常籠統地叫它「速度」, though throughput and speed are not quite the same thing不過throughput跟speed其實不完全一樣
It is an uncountable noun: high throughput, low throughput, not 'a throughput' or 'throughputs'. It is a work word — clear, slightly technical, and you would not use it about your own life.
It is an uncountable noun它是不可數名詞: high throughput, low throughput高throughput、低throughput, not 'a throughput' or 'throughputs'不會說a throughput或throughputs. It is a work word它是職場用字, clear, slightly technical清楚、有點技術性, and you would not use it about your own life不會拿來講自己的生活
