the word "optimise" is not to be found anywhere on the webpage you cite. Nor do any of the math problems presented have anything to do with the concept. The answer to the question "Ten people go to a party. How many different ways can they be seated?" has but one answer. As do the other statistical examples. There's nothing to optimize - just equations to solve.
Let's find where the word is used elsewhere on that website, shall we?
"normally to optimise profit.
I think the rest of us understand what that means in that context. One takes steps to improve profit since there is no "absolute" result or equation to solve.
"The UCAS website is also now fully optimised for mobile phones and tablets...
I think the rest of us understand what that means in this context as well. Since "mobile friendly" is a relative term, it generally means they have adjusted the page content for easier visibility on a small screen.
Do you understand?

Try some insight and understanding of how multiple variables affect the performance of systems.
Quite. The idea that you can understand the issues I hoped this thread might discuss by counting the instances of a generic interconnector in a system comprising a series of passive and complex active devices whose behaviour you ignore in favour of the arithmetic of factorial numbers strikes me as fatuous.
Following up with a banality like the above adds insult to fatuity. The effect of multiple variables on LAN performance in the audio context has been discussed at length in several threads over on CA. Many of the posts are interesting, others not so much but anyone who tries to replicate the gist learns that another key variable in PC audio is being addressed there and elsewhere.
Sadly, trying to involve AA inmates in what is proving an interesting topic has, not for the first time, been undermined by a self-appointed Committee of Public Safety. Pity that, even if it was predictable.

And unlike you, truly understand the meaning of the word "optimize". Your *example* demonstrates you don't have the remotest clue. Do you really believe that "optimize" is synonymous with "calculate"?
Too funny!
Again and again, you continue to demonstrate absolute ignorance as to its meaning.
Keep trying, Fred. Maybe you might find someone agrees with your perverse interpretation.
Do you have the foggiest notion of what dictionaries do?
Apparently not! No surprise here. :)
I just figured it out. fmak is referring to the word optimiSe. We are referring to the word optimiZe.
Apparently, there is a BIG difference.
is not between the King's English and American English as both share the same dictionaries. I find the same answer with the Oxford version as I do the Webster .
He, on the other hand, speaks fmakian. :)
your inability to explain or justify what you claim for your system; instead, your rely on semantics and peripheral postings to hide such false claims.
That's really funny fmak! I understand E-Stat's claims and his system very well after reading a couple of his posts.
Yours on the other hand remains a mystery because you've never posted it in your profile or laid out exactly what you're running. Is it the Pipo PC this week or that humongous Dell workstation with the noisy blowers in it? What ever happened with those ATX linear power supplies you were supposed to post about? Did you ever fix that oscilloscope you blew up while probing around where you didn't belong? Defrag any of your SSD's lately? What's up with YOUR system?
your inability to explain or justify what you claim for your system
to repeat what apparently you cannot understand. :)
And like before, you are utterly incapable of providing any semblance of an intelligent response discussing the details provided.
Clueless.
this is what EStat means to you.
Get some proper engineering education and training; you will then know that your system is not optimised as you claim.
to find an actual definition that supports your claim as many of us have requested you do. Obviously, you cannot. And don't understand the definition of.......definition! The word does not represent a single absolute state like "unique" or "full". One can further optimize parameters in a process for better results.I do smile, however, when I hear the flight attendant say "We have a very full flight" or quite commonly hear folks talk about something that is "very unique". They share your inability to understand the language.
Your linked example is a hoot. When Dick and Jane add 2+2, they are not "optimising" anything.
And yes, Virginia a micro Rendu is a computer with hardware and software optimized for the sole function of music playback.
Like your registry hacks, elevating the process priority of the music server software optimizes its ability to deliver latency-free delivery of the file.
BTW, I am a software engineer and supply chain consultant. I've re-written code optimizing them for speed of execution. I've fine tuned kernel parameters and instance resource allocations in VM environments optimizing them for efficiency. I have helped customers optimize their inventory spend for improved product GMROI and profitibility.
GMAFB!

You'll find another five million such links on "optimization".

this figures? From an accredited ABET engineering program?
a decade before the Computing Sciences Accreditation Board (CSAB) was established in 1985.
But then, Microsoft doesn't have a clue as to any software engineering prowess, right?
Keep trying convincing others of your unique definition that no one else uses. :)
You remain unable to provide even an inkling of any organization or body who agrees with you.
Cheerio, Frank!
Exactly, they and older computing degrees are NOT Engineering degrees and not recognised through the Washington Accord as qualifications for engineers.
Sitting in front of a screen for 4 years does not mean that graduates had actually 'engineered' anything, in spite of claims otherwise by some universities that run Computer Science programs. Hell, some of these courses don't even require Advanced Mathematics as a prerequisite.
you remain consistently oblivious to reality.
Here is IBM talking about Performance Optimization and Tuning Techniques for IBM Power Systems Processors Including IBM POWER8
When all else fails, avoid-avoid-avoid the real question, right?
How's that approach working out for you? :)
you have been doing is quoting words without reasoning or justification.
What has IBM to do with what I have been asking you to explain and justify?
It's about the word "optimization" and your inability to understand it.
...you have been doing is quoting words without reasoning or justification.
The concept is called "Using a word in a sentence" to help you understand the meaning in context. The rest of us learned that in elementary school. Each example I've cited uses the word to illustrate its meaning.
Get it? Most likely not!
Or, let's recall your inability to provide even a single source that agrees with the voices in your head. Not one. Zip. Nada. Zilch. You've posted dozens of responses and continue to ignore the basic question which apparently flies over your head every time.
Certainly not any prominent computer or software company agrees with you as we've witnessed! Maybe they don't understand engineering like you do. LOL!
Hmmmm. How about engineering as it applies to loudspeakers? Maybe you find this company doesn't get your concept either. Hint: Here's another application of the word in a sentence.
...that aims to the highest optimization
Time to leave your delusionary world again. :)
as a 'software engineer???' who does not know what optimisation means in the technical and not marketing sense.
to repeat everything I've already posted and add a few details.
Again and again, I'm only too happy to repeat everything I've already posted and add a few details.
And I've recently added two more optimizations towards further minimizing the potential for server based noise to effect the audio signal. The UPS to which the downstairs server is connected now runs through a Tripp Lite conditioner. And I've upgraded my balanced interconnects to a more thoroughly shielded set. Sound floor is already dead quiet, but I've experienced that RFI sometimes manifests itself as a kind of false brightness.
I continue to await any commentary from you as to the many steps I've taken to optimize performance using a device already designed from the ground up solely for audio duty.
Cheerio!
