On the speed of Algorithms and Faster Hardware

On the speed of Algorithms and Faster Hardware April 08 2014 Today I’ve read on Twitter a half-joke saying that basically we can just implement our code and then wait for faster computers to improve the speed of our programs. As many might know, that’s not actually the case, but instead of trying to explain this, I’d prefer to let the authors of The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms explain that for me. On section 1.1 of that book the authors are analyzing the speed of algorithms based on their pro
