Things I wish I had learned at university: - measuring the efficiency of an algorithm in watts - difference between classical math and computation - relationship between geometry and number theory

In practice it often depends on things like implementing your multiplication with a lookup table. I think the Landauer limit would matter if we did best effort computing and could harness the actual amount of determinism we can get from the substrate. We are far from that.

I recall seeing some literature on a concept called “reversible computing” that seemed to be about this too. I guess that’s the synthesis side of power efficiency analysis.
