We may count up the number of times that various elementary operations are applied in the whole process and then given them various weights. We might, for instance, count the number of additions, subtractions, multiplications, divisions, recording of numbers, and extractions of figures from tables. In the case of computing with matrices most of the work consists of multiplications and writing down numbers, and we shall therefore only attempt to count the number of multiplications and recordings. Alan Turing Cost model. Use some basic operation as a proxy for running time. int count = 0; for (int i = 0; i < ; i++) for (int j = i+; j < ; j++) if (a[i] + a[j] == 0) count++; operation frequency ( ) = ( ) = ROUDIG-OFF ERRORS I MATRIX PROCESSES By A.

The theory of the rounding-off errors involved is investigated for some of the methods. In all cases examined, including the well-known 'Gauss elimination process', it is found that the errors are normally quite moderate: no exponential build-up need occur. variable declaration + assignment statement + less than compare ½ ( + ) ( + ) equal to compare ½ ( ) array access ( ) increment ½ ( ) to ( ) cost model = array accesses (we assume compiler/jvm do not optimize any array accesses away!) 3 3
