WA3: Written Assignment 3: Analyzing Plots

Objectives

The objective of WA3 is to analyze four (n,pn) plots, data1, data2, data3, and data4. You are provided with a python code make_plot:

• make_plot.txt

Turn it into a make_plot.py file. Given a performance data file, make_plot, well, makes a plot. The format of the axes (0:linear or 1:log) is indicated by two 0,1 parameters, the first one for the x axis, the second for the y axis. For example:

python3 make_plot.py data1 1 1

plots data1 in log log format, and produces a file plots_data1_1_1.png.

Study the order of magnitude lecture. With the help of make_plot, analyze the four plots, and determine their polynomial or exponential nature. In the case of a polynomial complexity, determine the degree, in the case of an exponential complexity determine the base.

When you are done, do the WA3 Canvas Quiz.
