ITPEC IP October 2022 Question 15
ITPEC IP October 2022 — Question 15 of 100
A bottleneck is the slow component that limits the throughput of the entire system. Work accumulates before the constrained resource, and making already faster components even faster produces little benefit until the bottleneck is improved or its load is reduced.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- throughput is the amount of work completed per unit time
- defragmentation reorganizes fragmented storage data
- a flowchart graphically represents a procedure or process
Key rule: Overall capacity is constrained by the least capable required stage, so performance tuning should identify and address the bottleneck.
