8. Benchmarking
Aronnax runs in two different modes. These two modes have
substantially different runtimes due to the equations being solved.
These benchmarks can be reproduced by running the benchmark.py script in the benchmarks/ directory. Be warned, it takes a while to run the full thing.
8.1. n-layer mode
Because it requires a linear equation solve at every timestep, including the ocean
floor leads to substantially more expensive simulations.
8.2. Reduced gravity mode
The reduced gravity mode is substantially faster than the n-layer mode.
