Definitions
Output
The amount of something produced by a person, machine, or industry
Output from the mine ceased in May
Efficiency can lead to higher outputs
Throughput
In general terms, throughput is the rate of production or the rate at which something is processed. When used in the context of communication networks, such as Ethernet or packet radio, throughput or network throughput is the rate of successful message delivery over a communication channel.
Output
A place where power or information leaves a system.
Throughput
Output or production, as of a computer program, over a period of time.
Output
