The phrase "a small fraction of time" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a very brief period or a tiny portion of time in various contexts, such as discussions about duration or timing.
Example: "The experiment was completed in a small fraction of time, allowing us to gather results quickly."
Alternatives: "a brief moment" or "a tiny amount of time".
We deduce that compared to full blown finite difference time domain simulations, CMT can provide accurate results in just a small fraction of time.
Author Keith L. Richards believes that design engineers spend only a small fraction of time actually designing and drawing, and the remainder of their time finding relevant design information for a specific method or problem.
When the motor encounters the load, it reverses itself and gets a small running start (with no load for a small fraction of time) to pick up speed before engaging the load again.
Alternative simpler techniques are needed at the initial design stages in order to predict the most important characteristics of the material behavior during processing in a small fraction of time taken by an FEA run.
This is not suitable for use in practical scenarios where each time slot is in the order of a millisecond, and the resource allocation decision needs to be made in a small fraction of time.
When the CFP duration is increased to 160 TU (superframe duration = 200 TU), there is a severe drop in LP throughput in the standard 802.11e due to the drastic increase in collisions during the CP which now comprises of a small fraction of time of the total superframe duration.
This observation also supports the 1D sliding model because the two fluorophores would spend a smaller fraction of time in close proximity if the filament is longer.
E.G. and R.W.B. observed Mbeli Bai gorillas for a 7 week intensive period, which resulted in 240 h gorilla observation time; however, during only a small fraction of this time did any gorilla engage in social activity (less than 1 min per hour of film).
Furthermore, a computerised method could perform the task in a small fraction of the time required by a human, resulting in huge time and cost savings.
It is found that the EA produces, in a small fraction of the time that takes to design by hand, gaits that travel at two to four times the speed of the hand-designed one.
We adopt the viewpoint-transform approach because lipreading predominantly takes place with frontal views and coefficient-based techniques would suffer from over-generalization [8], i.e., only a small fraction of the time the system would benefit from the definition of pose-invariant features, while most of the time it would be outperformed by a system optimized for frontal views.
