👉 Ratio computing, also known as ratio processing or ratio theory, is a computational model that emphasizes the importance of maintaining a constant ratio between the number of processors and the amount of work they need to perform. Unlike traditional models that focus on raw computational power (like clock speed or core count), ratio computing suggests that the efficiency and effectiveness of a computing system are significantly influenced by how well the workload is distributed among processors while keeping this ratio constant. This approach aims to optimize performance by ensuring that no single processor becomes a bottleneck due to an imbalance in workload, leading to better scalability and resource utilization. It's particularly relevant in parallel computing environments where tasks can be divided into smaller, independent parts that can be processed simultaneously.
