ComputingTime.RmdAbout this vignette
The aim of this vignette is to provide users with a rough estimation of computing times for simulation models included in package medfateland.
The results presented here were obtained using 3 months of simulation with the example watershed on a laptop (16 GiB memory and 11th Gen Inter Core I5 processor @ 2.40 GHz x 8) with Ubuntu Linux OS.
Table of computational times
Computational times were estimated using system.time(),
are in seconds and are shown by
medfate package version.
