Re: [Scilab-users] Xcos 6.1.0 - benchmark time test
Hello Pierre, Thanks for the numbers, I will try to describe what can be down to work around the time to results. >From when you start the simulation to the first scope popup, the schema is >converted to a list of functions to be called in a specific order and passed >to a solver that will iterate on time to "run" the simulation. There might be >a difference between Scilab 5 and Scilab 6 as this transformation is written >using the Scilab language. It is the 5s to 95s ratio. While the simulation is running, each block's simulation function is called a number of times. The solver/simulator/function API did not change between Scilab 5 and Scilab 6, this should perform the same way. However, some functions, especially sciblk2 and sciblk4 are wrappers from C to Scilab functions and have been re-written to behave very differently. It is the 253s (258-5) to 4258s (4353-95) ratio (lower ratio but much more impact). Could you please file a bug with some representative example (same number of blocks, similar Scilab function) for further investigation ? Note: having "costly" sciblk2 and sciblk4 also highly depends on your schema, for example having them on a continuous loop will make the solver call them on each timestep.
