Time-memory Trade-offA time-memory trade-off is a situation in computer programming where the programmer can reduce memory use at the cost of slower program execution, or can reduce computation time at the cost of increased memory use. The most common situation is an algorithm involving a lookup table: an implementation can include the entire table, which reduces computing time, but increases the amount of memory needed, or it can compute table entries as needed, increasing computing time, but reducing memory requirements.
