I didn't suggest to compare yade agains SDEC, but to compare yade against pfc3d and esys-particle (for instance), using a well-defined benchmark: a funnel with 10k,100k,1M particles for something that moves and perhaps isotropic compression for a more-or-less static simulation. > everybody can take advantage of developments made by others. Oh, really. I keep rewriting bad code all the time :-| > my conclusion: speed is not the only key point. I don't buy this, if that means: we don't have to care about speed. For research, flexibility is good, but if it is at the cost of significantly lower speed when doing simulations, than something's wrong. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
