Gates & Our Pareto Analysis

For out ALU, we started by all the gates we might have to use, to determine which ones were more or less expensive, and how we could make our ALU as cheap as possible. For this we calculated the cost of each gate in 5 different areas which are, from most to least important:

Size, Redstone Powder Used, Redstone Torches Used, Blocks Used, and Repeaters Used

We chose this order because of different reasons: First, we are building this in Creative Mode, meaning we have infinite materials, so the most important thing for us is how small can we make this ALU. Then we decided which materials had more importance, first by how many gates used them (for example the repeater is only used by the Clock, so it isnt very useful for analysis) and then by actual cost/importance of the material in game.

Below we have photos of all our gates (even multiple versions in some cases) and they cost analysis, with a table with all these numbers below that.
