speed-up
Increase the pace
A speed-up is an increase in pace or rate of production.
The term often appears in workplace contexts where employers demand faster output: The factory announced a speed-up that had workers completing twice as many units per shift.
In computing, speed-up measures how much faster a parallel algorithm runs compared to its sequential version.
