Re: [femm] Re: FAQ - FEMM under GNU/Linux using Wine



Just tried it on my office machine (a 300MHz Pentium II with 64MB) and it took just over two minutes (about 2:03) but this machine is running on a local network and could have lots of overheads. I'll try it on some others as I get the chance.

I ran this problem on my old at-home machine with a screaming 200 MHz
Pentium and 96MB of memory. It took 1:55 to complete from the time I
pressed the "turn the crank" button until the solver was completely
done writing the results to disk. If I assume that the solution time
would scale linearly to a 500 MHz machine, 2/5 of the 200 MHz solution
time is 46 seconds.
