Nice. I'd say this is also "not bad" for the commercial solver :) On Saturday, January 10, 2015 at 10:42:24 AM UTC+8, Petr Krysl wrote: > > Hello all, > > Big thanks to Tim Holy and Andreas Noack. The FE solver implemented in > Julia as described previously ( > https://groups.google.com/forum/?f

Very good. is the url https://github.com/PetrKryslUCSD/jfineale_for_trying_out still valid for the new optimized version? may be you will release this as a package? On Friday, 9 January 2015 21:42:24 UTC-5, Petr Krysl wrote: > > Hello all, > > Big thanks to Tim Holy and Andreas Noack. The FE so

Wow =) Do you have more details about the commercial solver? Is it implemented in C/C++? If yes, this might become my favorite example to show off Julia's strengths! Commercial C/C++ software looses against non commercial high level code makes up a pretty good story =) One thing I notice while

Hmm, not knowing a lot about this, just the keyword I have the question. Is it possible to make it 3x faster yet and/or what hardware is that benchmark obtained from?

Jeff, Not sure this is answering your question: both the commercial software and the Julia solver were run on the same machine (i7 with 16 GB of memory running Windows 7). On an equivalent Linux laptop the Julia solver is even faster. Comsol is not available on that laptop. P On Saturday,

Simon, The commercial solver was Comsol 4.4. I suppose it is implemented in C or C++. Some of the user interface is probably in Java. I will certainly consider your suggestion about the types. Frankly, I didn't know better how to provide both type stability and flexibility. Hopefully I wil
