Different performance metrics are appropriate for different application scenarios. In practice, most applications have constraints along many evaluation dimensions, but a smaller set may realistically dominate design decisions.

a) Give an example of a system where energy/operation is likely more important than task latency or operation throughput.

b) Give an example of a system where task latency is more important than operation throughput.

c) Give an example of a system where improving either or both of task latency or operation throughput does not increase the value of the system.
