About 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.
