In computing, optimization is the process of modifying a system to improve its efficiency. The system can be a single computer program, a collection of computers or even an entire network such as the Internet.
Although the word "optimization" shares the same root as "optimal," it is rare for the process of optimization to produce a truly optimal system for all purposes. There will always be tradeoffs.
Optimization must be approached with caution. Tony Hoare first said, and Donald Knuth famously repeated, "Premature optimization is the root of all evil." It is important to have sound algorithms and a working prototype first.
