The most common goals are minimizing cost, maximizing throughput, and/or efficiency.
A typical goal is to stabilize all network queues while optimizing some performance objective, such as minimizing average energy or maximizing average throughput.
Successful load balancing optimizes resource use, maximizes throughput, minimizes response time, and avoids overload.
The write cache in most operating systems sorts its writes (using the elevator algorithm or some similar scheme) to maximize throughput.
This discrete approach has resulted in machines placed apart from each other to maximize the efficiency and throughput of each machine.
To maximize throughput of players, each room of the dungeon has a group of players in it.
Hence the processor has a greater chance of running the maximum number of instructions simultaneously, and maximising throughput.
The replication workload is automatically parallelized to maximize throughput while still maintaining correctness.
Climbers must be paced at optimal timings so as to minimize cable stress and oscillations and to maximize throughput.
The objective is to maximize aggregate throughput while minimizing local latency, optimizing performance and efficiency.
