throughput
System flow speed
Throughput is the amount of material or data processed within a given time.
In computing, it measures how much information passes through a system: The server handles high throughput during peak hours.
In manufacturing or logistics, it tracks units completed: The factory's throughput doubled after automation.
Higher throughput generally means greater efficiency or capacity.
