CRITERION SELECTION


  • Computation Time

  • Most common requirement in applications

  • Can generally be achieved with a memory tradeoff

  • Lower number of computations and pipelining instructions

  • Number of Computations

  • Traditionally the main criterion for algorithm choice

  • Very often translates directly to computational efficiency

  • Cost of floating point and integer operations are architecture dependent

  • Memory Usage and Object Code Size

  • Critical in portable hardware based systems

    •
