Description
During our last group meeting, we decided to carry out several performance tests:
- Time scaling with the number of layers
- Time taken to run a simple simulation
- Time scaling with the simulation resolution
The results are not satisfactory as can be seen from the following notebook:
As this issue is not a priority for the moment (is it?), I suggest to keep further investigations and possible fixes on the backlog.
However, looking ahead for a possible fix, I did some experimenting on reusing an already performing piece of code and embedding it inside a python API --which could also be a GUI for that matter:
