Abstract
The analysis phase of a problem aims at evaluating, given a computation, its performance. Performance can be intended in several ways depending on the specific target problem as well as the abstraction level where it is carried out. For instance, at the device level we have cost, latency, throughput, power, energy, and complexity to name some major performance design indexes. At the algorithm level we have accuracy, confidence, energy, and complexity. Not rarely we constrain such indexes and we saw in Chap. 4 how it is possible to evaluate their satisfaction level.
