Table II.

Comparison in CPU time between L-LF and F-LL schemes. Ionic sub-steps are uniform, except for the last row, where Δtau; is adapted asynchronously for each node independently following [13].

Method Δt (ms) Δt (ms) Conduction Velocity (m/s) CPU time (s)

0.1 0.1 0.522 16.69
L-LF 0.1 0.05 0.532 27.72
0.1 0.01 0.555 123.76
0.1 0.1 0.536 17.06

F-LL 0.1 0.05 0.549 27.64
0.1 0.01 0.561 131.75
0.1 0.01–0.1* 0.543 18.113

Last row, uses adaptive time-stepping, which is possible for F-LL but not for L-LF (see main text).
