Conformance Algorithm Optimization + Benchmarks

Aug 7, 2012i am curious about the differences in meaning, connotations, style, and correctness of using conformity vs conformance. For example, non-conformance is abbreviated as nc. If i am referring to a non-conformance, i may pronounce the whole word or i may literally say the letters "nc";

You can substitute usually, but the emphasis on "conformance to norms" is more important when you use normally.
