Subect: Architecture-Performance
Performance is a subjective quatity that is often argued about by those who are affected by it. However we can make a general statement about performance:
performance = 1 / (running time)
The more general problem comes when we start agregating different performance metrics. Say we run 5 different programs and measure their running time. How do we agregate them? We can use a weighted average or a straight sum average.
