# Compute Normalization


## Purpose

Analyze the performance-compute tradeoff across methods. Identify Pareto-optimal methods (best performance for a given compute budget), compute-normalized rankings, and efficiency frontiers. Essential for practical method selection under resource constraints.

## Input Schema

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| method_scores | object[] | Array of {method, dataset, metric, score} |
| compute_costs | object[] | Array of {method, flops, gpu_hours, params, training_cost_usd} |
