Table 2. Computational Cost of PSO Calculations
as a Function of Np for a Binary (c = 2) Mixture that can Exist in up to
Phasesa.
| Np = 50 | Np = 100 | Np = 200 | Np = 400 | Np = 800 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.00 | 2.06 | 3.82 | 7.56 | 15.20 |
Each entry indicates
the average
time (averaged over 20 runs) it takes to perform a Gibbs-energy minimization
for a given
relative to the fastest
case of Np = 50 particles.
