• 1Performance Optimization relies on measurement-driven diagnosis and acceleration of MATLAB code.
• 2Profile representative workloads before changing algorithms or execution targets.
• 3Its main failure mode is: Optimizing tiny examples or moving unsupported work to GPU can make code slower.
• 4Useful production evidence is measured performance improvement.

• 1Choose the owning script, function, class, app, live script, or Simulink model.
• 2Keep the performance optimization input shape, units, and output contract explicit.
• 3Select MATLAB data structures and toolboxes according to the exact operation.
• 4Document release, toolbox, hardware, and file dependencies.

• 1Compare correctness, runtime, allocation, and scalability before and after the change.
• 2Test normal, boundary, invalid, noisy, empty, or missing input where applicable.
• 3Compare one result with a manual calculation, analytical model, or trusted reference.
• 4Record measured performance improvement before and after changing the implementation.

• 1Build the smallest working Performance Optimization example.
• 2Introduce this failure: Optimizing tiny examples or moving unsupported work to GPU can make code slower.
• 3Correct it using this rule: Profile representative workloads before changing algorithms or execution targets.
• 4Record measured performance improvement before and after the correction.
