Here we'd like to collect the metrics for the platform scalability. Don't limit your thoughts on the already created entries, maybe we will work smth. absolutely different out!

A possible template might be:

The platform scalability definition

No.

Scalability

Variable

Fixed

Metric

Boundaries

Ways to achieve

Came from (not obligatory)

1

Strong scaling by growing number of computing cores

No. of cores

Total problem size

Workflow execution time

-

data streaming, distribution, parallelization

Alexey

2

Weak scaling by growing number of computing cores

No. of cores

Problem size per core

Workflow execution time

-

data streaming, distribution, parallelization

Alexey

3

Scaling to the size of the problem

Problem size

Number of Processors

Workflow execution time

-

Lower algorithm complexity

4

Scaling to the complexity of the problem

Problem complexity

Number of Processors, Problem size

Workflow execution time

-

Lower algorithm complexity
