I'm not sure I get the difference here. As I understand, optimization includes
(1) choice of suitable algorithm for the problem, (2) smart implementation, i.e.
writing code such that the compiler can apply smart optimization (e.g. aliasing)
and (3) optimizing for a particular microarchitecure (leveraging instruction
level paralellism for a fixed CPU model).
If choosing a error bound + approximation algorithm yields acceptable result, I
think that is fine. Is that your point?

We will have to submit code to a university-internal repository and it will run
through some software plagiarism system. Would that be a problem?

Thanks,
