Scale (Computing)Scale in the computing field is used as a verb. An algorithm, design, networking protocol, program, etc. is said to scale if it is suitably efficient and practical when applied to large situations. For example, the distributed nature of the Domain Name System allows it to work efficiently even when all hosts on the worldwide Internet are served, so it is said to "scale well". If the design fails when the quantity increases then it does not scale.
