Before revision:   To this end, instead of  quantifying the performance of an algorithm in absolute terms, we present a measurement-based approach that assigns a relative score to the algorithms in comparison to one another.
After revision:  One of the motivations for this setup is that it makes it then possible to select an algorithm based on additional performance metrics such as those based on energy or scalability. To this end, instead of quantifying the performance of an algorithm in absolute terms, we present a measurement-based approach that assigns a relative score to the algorithms in comparison to one another.
