Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a design space where you have three configurations with varying power consumption and performance metrics. Describe how you would apply Pareto Optimality to visualize and analyze the trade-offs.

💡 Hint: Use two contrasting objectives to see how they relate!

Challenge 2 Hard

Imagine an algorithm that needs to decide between using an exhaustive search or a greedy algorithm for a particular problem. What factors should influence this decision and why?

💡 Hint: Think about trade-offs of time against quality.
