How much of the heat a furnace generates (input heat) that actually reaches you (output heat) is a measure of how efficient the furnace is.
That might indicate the Chinese now have a significant lead in "performance per watt" — a measure of energy-efficient computing that will prove crucial to reaching the next generation of so-called exascale supercomputers, which are computers that will be a thousand times faster than the world's fastest today, and which are scheduled to arrive by the end of this decade.
Therefore, we propose a novel measure of efficient discriminability which considers all of them.
As pigs are polytocous species, litter size is a direct measure of efficient fertilization and successful breeding.
Furthermore, tags are linked to each other through a measure of semantic similarity, which allows for efficient incorporation of out-of-vocabulary tags, that is, tags that do not yet exist in the database.
