Load balancing efficiency terminology
Suppose I run some software on a parallel computer and that, during the execution, an average of X % of the processors are active. What is the correct compsci term for X? Would 'load' be correct?

Maybe utilization is a better term than 'load', at least it is widely used, see for example the paper below:
Aida, Kento and Kasahara, Hironori and Narita, Seinosuke: Job scheduling scheme for pure space sharing among rigid jobs, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 1459, pp. 98–121, 1998.
