Question

Differentiate between response time and throughput

Answer 1

Solution :

Throughput :   Throughput indicates the number of transaction or processes completed in a single unit of time.

Response Time : Response Time is the time difference between the time at which we submit the request ( or job ) and the time at which we started receiving / getting the response. OR in simple words, we can say that Response time is the total amount of time which it takes to respond to a request ( or a job or a service ).

Hence, We can write Response Time as :

       Response Time = Submission time of a request ( or a job ) - the time at which we started receiving / getting the response.
