	Horsepower - Wikipedia
		The horsepower (hp) is the name of several non-metric units of power.
		In scientific discourse the horsepower is rarely used due to the various definitions and the existence of an SI unit for power, the watt (W).
		RAC horsepower cannot be given as a proportion to metric power.

	Horsepower - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		In scientific discourse the term "horsepower" is rarely used due to the various definitions and the existence of an SI unit for power, the watt (W).
		The most-common definition of horsepower for engines is the one originally proposed by James Watt in 1782.
		Gross horsepower figures were also subject to considerable adjustment by carmakers: the power ratings of mass-market engines were often exaggerated, while those for the highest-performance muscle car engines were frequently underrated.

		This has often been a source of confusion and amusement in the minds of North Americans, who are accustomed to large horsepower numbers and who haven’t had a tradition of petrol shortages and intrusive government policy towards their automobiles.
		However, if you look carefully at the calculation (and recognize that it is the combined activity of the bore and stroke that develops horsepower), you will notice that the stroke does not enter into the calculation at all.
		This formula fortunately worked in favour of the public, as well as the auto manufacturers of the day, as 1 pound for each horse of a low taxable rating was considerably less than the same pound multiplied by the much higher actual b.h.p.rating.

	RAC Horsepower
		The RAC rating was very important, as for many years the annual car taxation was based on its RAC rating.
		The myth has grown that the RAC formula was arbitrary and just happened to calculate the actual output of some early petrol engines.
		Thus an output for a better (unblown) engine of 3 to 4 times the RAC rating was not uncommon in the mid to late 30's.

		The Royal Automobile Club formula for horsepower was not based on any practical bench test, rather it was based on applied theory and was derived from basic principles.
		This lead to a double rating system, as the Rover 10/25, where the 10 was RAC horsepower and 25 was indicated horsepower.

	Using DataDirect Connect® for JDBC® with Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC): JDBC: Developer: Home
		An Oracle RAC system is composed of a group of independent servers, or nodes, that cooperate as a single system as shown in Figure 1.
		You may think that connection failover is not needed in an Oracle RAC system; however, if the requested listener is down or the timing of an instance going down is such that the requested listener is not yet aware that an instance is down, the connection request can fail.
		For example, suppose you have the Oracle RAC environment shown in Figure 4 with multiple connections to Oracle RAC nodes: A, B, and C. As shown in the first case, connections are distributed among the nodes in an Oracle RAC system.

	Using Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC): ODBC: Developer: Home
		Because the requested listener selects from a set of active instances in the RAC system to forward connection requests to, it should not route the connection request to an instance that is not running.
		For example, suppose you have the Oracle RAC environment shown in Figure 3 with multiple connections to Oracle RAC nodes: A, B, and C. As shown in the first case, connections are distributed among the nodes in an Oracle RAC system.
		Suppose you have the Oracle RAC environment shown in Figure 4 with multiple Oracle RAC nodes, A, B, C, and D. Without client load balancing enabled, connection attempts may be front-loaded, meaning that most connection attempts would try Node A first, then Node B, and so on until a connection attempt is successful.

	Oracle Tuning with RAC
		In a nutshell, Oracle RAC is a complex database architecture where multiple RAM memory regions and processes and Oracle instances share a common set of database files.
		Figure 20.1 is an illustration of the complex RAC structure in Oracle.
		It is critical to understand that Oracle RAC is not for every Oracle database, and it is almost always used in super large, mission-critical systems and web database that must support thousands of transactions per second.

	Bhp - WOI Encyclopedia Italia
		The horsepower was first used by James Watt during a business venture where his steam engines replaced horses.
		Since taxable horsepower was computed based on bore and number of cylinders, not based on actual displacement, it gave rise to engines with 'undersquare' dimensions, i.e., relatively narrow bore, but long stroke; this tended to impose an artificially low limit on rotational speed (rpm), hampering the true power output and efficiency of the engine.
		The situation persisted for several generations of four- and six-cylinder British engines: for example, Jaguar's 3.8-litre XK engine had six cylinders with a bore of 87 mm (3.43 in) and a stroke of 106 mm (4.17 in), where most American automakers had long since moved to oversquare (wide bore, short stroke) V-8s.

		It is calculated from the pressures developed in the cylinders, measured by a device called an engine indicator – hence indicated horsepower.
		It was the figure normally used for steam engines in the 19th century but is misleading because the mechanical efficiency an engine means that the actual power output may be only 70–90% of the indicated horsepower.

		Mostly the calculation has always been done backwards for internal combustion engines (ie bmep is a derived value), since the Prony brake (the first dynamometer, invented by Gaspard De Prony around the 1820's) has always been able to measure bhp directly.
		Registration was based on the former, hence the reason to emphasise it and exaggerate the latter.
		One of the consequences of the RAC system was engines that were ridiculously under square -- ie the stroke was much greater than the bore.

		The “RAC” figure was a simple mathematical formulation based on the bore times the number of cylinders divided by a constant (note that stroke wasn’t included in the calculation).
		The new "18 HP"”(again RAC horsepower) had a new bore of 69.5mm and a stroke of 120mm giving a displacement of 2731cc and 61 horsepower.
		The “18 HP” became the “16 HP” by virtue of a bore decrease from 69.5 to 67.5 (thus decreasing the bore dependent RAC horsepower calculation and decreasing the annual road tax levied on this car) while the actual horsepower was 60 (a decrease of 1 horsepower).
