Performance refers to the throughput of computational work per unit time, commonly measured in floating point operations per second (FLOPS) or frames per second (FPS). Higher performance enables completing more work, but power consumption rises with activity.

[Show Image - Optimization curve showing tradeoffs between performance and power. Maximum performance requires exceeding power limits.]

Hardware accelerators aim to maximize performance within set power budgets. This requires careful balancing of parallelism, clock frequency of the chip, operating voltage of the chip, workload optimization and other techniques to maximize operations per watt.

- **Performance** = Throughput * Efficiency
