1. hot spot

   1. [primarily used by C/Unix programmers, but spreading] It is received wisdom that in most programs, less than 10% of the code eats 90% of the execution time; if one were to graph instruction visits versus code addresses, one would typically see a few huge spikes amidst a lot of low-level noise. Such spikes are called hot spots and are good candidates for heavy optimization or hand-hacking. The term is especially used of tight loops and recursions in the code's central algorithm, as opposed to (say) initial set-up costs or large but infrequent I/O operations. See tune, hand-hacking. 2. The active location of a cursor on a bit-map display. “Put the mouse's hot spot on the ‘ON’ widget and click the left button.” 3. A screen region that is sensitive to mouse gestures, which trigger some action. World Wide Web pages now provide the canonical examples; WWW browsers present hypertext links as hot spots which, when clicked on, point the browser at another document (these are specifically called hotlinks). 4. In a massively parallel computer with shared memory, the one location that all 10,000 processors are trying to read or write at once (perhaps because they are all doing a busy-wait on the same lock). 5. More generally, any place in a hardware design that turns into a performance bottleneck due to resource contention.

5. Kimee Moore:

   It is incredible that one narrow magnetic hot spot, the Great Blue Spot, could be responsible for almost all of Jupiters secular variation, but the numbers bear it out, with this new understanding of magnetic fields, during future science passes we will begin to create a planetwide map of Jupiters [magnetic] variation. It may also have applications for scientists studying Earths magnetic field, which still contains many mysteries to be solved.
