Choosing the fastest algorithm for a certain task require that that you can estimate the runtime of an algorithm.
The absolute runtime of an algorithm is determined by several things, for example:
The Hardware it is running upon
The programming language your are using
The compiler / runtime environment you are using
All these factors influence the actual runtime of a algorithm.
To compare the runtime behavior of algorithms is is important to have a mean to eliminate all these factors and to find a common description of the runtime.
