摘要

Complexity theorists routinely compare-via the pre-ordering induced by asymptotic O-notation-the efficiency of computers so as to ascertain which offers the most efficient solution to a given problem. Tacit in this statement, however, is that the computers conform to a standard computational model: that is, they are Turing machines, random-access machines or similar. However, whereas meaningful comparison between these conventional computers is well understood and correctly practised, that of non-standard machines (such as quantum, chemical and optical computers) is rarely even attempted and, where it is, is often attempted under the typically false assumption that the conventional-computing approach to comparison is adequate in the unconventional-computing case. We discuss in the present paper a computational-model-independent approach to the comparison of computers' complexity (and define the corresponding complexity classes). Notably, the approach allows meaningful comparison between an unconventional computer and an existing, digital-computer benchmark that solves the same problem.
