Revisiting the benchmark from May, building ADMB from the admb-13.0 branch (commit f6721274), updated in July.
The analysis of the July results indicates that for these examples, ADMB 13.0-beta still has a performance problem in Windows. See plot.
Two modern laptops, Lenovo P15 Gen 1 (i7-10875H) and Dell Precision 3560
(i7-1165G7), each with a number of VMs. ADMB built from the 12.3
source
and from the current
admb-13.0 branch (commit
8820af06) with make -j8. The
example models
(catage and vol) are built using admb -f and then run as catage -mcmc 1e6 -mcsave 1e3 and nm2vol.
The analysis of the results indicates that for these examples, ADMB 13.0-beta is consistently and considerably slower than ADMB 12.3, around 20% slower in Linux and around 60% slower in Windows. See plot.
One would hope that ADMB 13.0 will be equally fast as previous versions - or at least not much slower.
This seems worth looking into before releasing 13.0.
