abstract = { The primary purpose of this report is to collect some
information on the CPU-time consumption in a series of
typical numerical simulations for solving partial
differential equations (PDEs). We would like to establish,
through analyzing the CPU-measurements, the performance
model for a number of numerical methods when applied in
different model problems. All the simulators, i.e. the
software programs carrying out the simulations, have been
developed using Diffpack which is a generic C++ library
based on object-oriented programming techniques. Therefore,
the established performance models may offer a rough
prediction of real CPU-time consumption by actual Diffpack
simulators for practical problems. Additionally, the report
can also be regarded as an investigation of the
computational efficiency of the current Diffpack
implementations. Last but not least, we wish to point out
to Diffpack programmers some implementation issues that may
affect the performance of the simulators. }
