Run-Time Performance

The results of a run-time study for the electrical and mechanical model are presented.

An extensive performance study has not been completed; however, the table below lists wall clock times for the electrical simulation and the mechanical simulations over one complete beat cycle. Each additional beat cycle increases the run time by approximately seven hours.

Model Number of Cores Wall Clock Run Time (hours)
Electrical 14 1.0
Mechanical 14 10.2

The analyses were performed on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 cluster with one compute node containing two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each of which contains 14 cores. The compute times shown in the table are representative only since hardware and system configurations can have a significant effect on performance.
