However, for production use, I would be more interested in 6th or 8th order finite differencing (where the advection stencils become very large), and with Jacobians. If 8th order with Jacobians is at least a similar speed with the rewrite branch, then I would be happy with switching.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ian</div><div><br></div><div>Do you want to suggest a particular benchmark parameter file?</div><div><br></div><div>-erik</div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">Erik Schnetter <<a href="mailto:schnetter@cct.lsu.edu" target="_blank">schnetter@cct.lsu.edu</a>><br><a href="http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/personal/eschnetter/" target="_blank">http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/personal/eschnetter/</a></div>
