They are 'maximum theoretical throughput', 'Maximum Achievable throughput', and 'peak measured throughput' and 'maximum sustained throughput'.
In support of these kinds of application needs, Couchbase is designed to provide easy-to-scale key-value or document access with low latency and high sustained throughput.
But the Hitachi had a bigger onboard cache and, it looked like, better sustained throughput.
Ten years later with 802.11n, you're still lucky to get sustained, reliable throughput of the 11mbps that 802.11b promised.
They are 'maximum theoretical throughput', 'maximum achievable throughput', and 'peak measured throughput' and 'maximum sustained throughput'.
SLURM is open source, Linux-based, is quite scalable, and can manage thousands of nodes in a computer cluster with a sustained throughput of over 100,000 jobs per hour.
The sustained data transfer rate or sustained throughput of a drive will be the slower of the sustained internal and sustained external rates.
It's what that SpeedBoost peak is, and then what your sustained throughput is.
SCSI drives provide greater sustained throughput than multiple SATA drives connected via a simple (i.e. command-based) port multiplier because of disconnect-reconnect and aggregating performance.
The Sprint service provides a committed information rate, guaranteeing a minimum sustained throughput.
