👉 Duration computing, also known as time-based computing or timing computation, is a computational paradigm where the processing of data is directly influenced by the time at which operations are executed rather than the amount of data processed. In traditional computing, algorithms often focus on minimizing the computational complexity or memory usage, regardless of the time it takes to perform operations. In contrast, duration computing emphasizes the temporal aspects of computation, where the duration or time intervals between operations become crucial for achieving efficiency and performance. This approach can lead to more energy-efficient systems, as it allows for better scheduling of tasks based on time constraints and can exploit temporal locality in data access patterns. By focusing on the timing of operations, duration computing aims to optimize performance in scenarios where real-time or predictable response times are essential, such as in embedded systems, robotics, and other time-sensitive applications.
