Learn English – Stronger scientific word than ‘increased’

word-choice

I am writing a computer engineering paper and try to express that our system increased a certain value fairly much, emphasizing that the amount of increase is uncommon. Could anyone recommend a word to imply 'increased a value fairly much' in a scientific way?


First of all, sorry for making you confused, but actually I was composing a presentation which is about my research project. I just mentioned it as 'writing a paper', which I thought uses similar terms to when composing a research presentation. Anyway..

Our project is making an custom chip accelerating deep-learning, and in this field, people commonly regards that the more the accelerator contains the neuron data, the better the system is. My original intention was making one short phrase which emphasizes the increased number of neuron data, such as 'Increased number of neuron data', but I thought this phrase is somewhat weak to emphasize the increase itself.

If this is a technical article in a technical context, then we'd probably stick with boring, dispassionate and objective terms, and quantify them where necessary. So you'd say "large increase" or "significant increase" or (probably best) "observed an increase of XX% to YY% percent". When your story gets picked up by the popular media, they can decided to say "skyrocketed" or "exploded" or "boosted" or whatever else they think will keep eyes on their page.
