How does the latest CPDN model compare speedwise on Windows and Linux, the hardware being the same?

I\'ve got a dual boot box (Win 2k, Linux) and am wondering which would be best for this project?

regards,

PS: this is not an invitation for comparisons of the merits of the two systems on any other grounds than how fast they run CPDN. If that is what you hoped for, please start your own thread ;-)

Trying it on a few PCs that are dual boot, I\'ve found Win to be about 2-5% faster than Lin.

Thanks for a quick reply geophi. Looks like it is Win2k then.

That\'s interesting, seems to depend on the project. Because in Einstein, it\'s the other way round... since my laptop runs Linux, it has pathetic benchmarks but crunches around 10% faster. Unfortuately I can\'t test it with CPDN on that box since it is really too slow for this project... too little RAM, aswell...

It was the other way around for the \'Slab,\' Sulphur Cycle, and Seasonal Attribution Models, too. It depends on how the compiler must be tweaked to produce stable Models.
