1
involving computers or algorithmic methods
Describing work or methods that use computers and step-by-step rules to study or solve problems.
Vzorec užití:
computational [field/method/model/analysis]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use *computer* instead of *computational* before a field name, saying *computer biology* or *computer linguistics*. In these academic areas, the natural phrase is *computational biology* or *computational linguistics*, meaning the field uses computer-based methods.
Synonyma
computer-based (Stresses that something is done with the help of a computer, slightly less formal and technical.)
|
algorithmic (Emphasizes the step-by-step procedural nature more than the use of computers themselves.)
|
digital (Broader and less precise; often about electronic or online systems, not always about methods of analysis.)
Antonyma
manual (Highlights that a task is done by hand or without computers, contrasting with computer-based methods.)

about computing cost or effort
Describing how much computer time or power a task or method needs to run.
Vzorec užití:
computational [cost/load/complexity/requirements]
Častá chyba:
Learners may think *computational* here means simply *difficult* in a general sense. In technical contexts, it specifically refers to the amount of computer time, memory, or processing power needed, not to mental difficulty or human effort.
Synonyma
processing (Often used in phrases like *processing power* or *processing requirements*; focuses on the same idea of needed computer work.)
|
resource-intensive (Broader; can refer to computing resources but also money, time, or people, not just computation.)
Antonyma
negligible (Used to describe a task whose computational cost is so small it can almost be ignored.)

Příklady
- This algorithm has a very high computational cost and is not suitable for mobile devices.
- We need to reduce the computational complexity of the model before deploying it in real time.
- The new approach offers similar accuracy with much lower computational requirements.
- Rendering the full 3D scene places a heavy computational load on the server.
- There is a trade-off between model accuracy and computational efficiency.
Učební příklady
- The program is slow because the computational cost is very high.
- They want an app with low computational requirements.
- This method is simple, but the computational load is too big.
- We must think about the computational complexity before we choose the algorithm.
- The new code is faster and improves computational efficiency.
