<p>in the DATA section I have placed numerous charts, graphs, and
visualizations that I built over the past few days. The purpose
of the animation is to convince you that my method is properly
properly describing the gaseous species diffusing "physically"
through the room with a 50% barrier. Furthemore, I have provided
snapshots of the gas diffusing through a room with an msize of 50
and a 75% barrier. Finally, I have provided a graph of simulated
times as a function of msize for a room with a 50% barrier.<br>
</p>
<p>I do not expect you to get the EXACT same simulation time as I do
- but they should be in the ballpark (I would estimate ±5 sec).
For the partition the variability may be greater. <br>
</p>
<p>I recommend that for the initial work on the partition you pick
your FASTEST code (actual running time, not simulation time) and
use that as your code to work out the details of the partition.
Once you get things figured our then you can translate that to the
other languages. You may also want to pull out paper and pencil
and try to think about where the partition is located - some 3D
work there can go a long way in helping you figure out how i,j,k
are related to x,y,z. I can assure you I had to do some "paper
work" before I built everything on the DATA page.</p>
<p>As always, keep the questions coming -- but you at least now have
target values to try and reproduce.</p>
