Explanation
The above graph compares a special-purpose computer with a
general purpose one. The y-axis is logarithmic. The special purpose
computer has initial overhead to start. It has excellent computation speed
but it gets limited by small memory. For the general-purpose
computer, the initial overhead is less. It has relatively less speed and it
finds a more accurate answer (larger memory). Usually one needs
to customize the HINT code for the special purpose computer.
