TART is written in such standard FORTRAN that it runs on virtually any computer.

See the below table for timing results on

CRAY, UNIX workstations, IBM-PC (Windows and Linux), as well as Power MAC.

TART is Incredibly Fast

The below table presents results obtained using a collection of 68 benchmark problems that are distributed with TART.

All problems were run on each computer using ONLY ONE PROCESSOR.

This table summarizes timing results for the older TARTND code,

that only runs on CRAY computers, as well as TART on a variety of computers.

Note the advantage of TART over the older TARTND in terms of its ability to be used on virtually any computer.

For example, compared to TARTND running on a multi-million dollar CRAY-YMP

Today a thousand dollar LapTop runs TART2022 400 times faster than a million dollar CRAY ran TARTND,

It is also interesting to note how far Personal Computers have come in the last few years.

When TART95 was released in 1996 the then fastest available 486dx2/66 PC took 18,487 seconds to run this set of benchmark problems.

Today's best time of 14 seconds is an incredible 1,320 times faster -

this is due to advances in computer speed, compiler design, and TART design.

1,320 Times Faster 

Think about what this means.

A problem that in 1996 took an entire 9 to 5, 8 hour (480 minute) work day to complete, now takes

Less than 22 seconds

IT BOGGLES THE MIND!!!!
