Hi everybody
I'm a bit confused about the use of words like: bound,top,bottom,upper,uppermost,lower,lowermost,superior,inferior,maximum,minimumetc.

I work in the computer arena and i would like to express sentences like
the top cpu time for this program is 80%.
the uppermost time is 80%
the bottom cpu time is steadily 10%.
the limit superior is 100%.

That is to say, how to say limits in context (about cpu and memory usage)

Regards

Hi,

When talking about 'time', it's common to use 'slow/fast', eg

the fastest cpu time for this program is 80%.

Best wishes, Clive
