Chaste - Performance
Chaste is currently able to run in any laptop, desktop or supercomputing facility. It depends on your simulation needs.
Cardiac Chaste
Our collaborators in Fujitsu have run Chaste in HECToR (UK's high-end computing resource) obtaining the following performance for an anatomically-based rabbit ventricular mesh (~4 million nodes; see Bernabeu et al. Computers in Cardiology 2008):
- 100 ms of bidomain activity takes 9 minutes using 2048 processors (May 2010).
- 10 ms of bidomain activity took 40 minutes using 32 processors (January 2009).
- 10 ms of monodomain activity took 18 minutes using 32 processors (January 2009).
We are constantly working in improving the Chaste performance by implementing new numerical algorithms and parallel computing techniques. Therefore performance is constantly assessed.
