Figure of merit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A figure of merit (FOM) is a performance metric that characterizes the performance of a device, system, or method, relative to its alternatives.[1][2]

Examples[edit]

Computational benchmarks are synthetic figures of merit that summarize the speed of algorithms or computers in performing various typical tasks.
