The practice

04 / Algorithms & optimization

The answer beneath the obvious one.

Graph, geometry, numerical, and combinatorial problems. Correctness first, then a careful examination of where the time and memory go.

The question underneath

Is the bottleneck the machine, or the idea?

State the invariant. Find the counterexample. Choose the simplest algorithm that satisfies the actual constraints.

Scope of practice

What the work

  1. 01Problem modeling and algorithm design
  2. 02Performance and memory optimization
  3. 03Correctness checks and comparative evaluation

The practice

AI, systems, and difficult software.
Independent in thought. Close to the work.
