How long does it take to process a simulation?
Processing time for a CBM-CFS3 simulation will depend on the size and complexity of the user’s project and their computer hardware. Having a computer processor greater than the minimum 1.2-Ghz and more than the minimum 512 megabytes of RAM will help speed up processing. A small project (<5000 stands, 4 classifiers, 10 disturbance events per time step for 100 years) will take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to simulate. A large project (>200,000 stands, 10 classifiers, 1000 disturbance events per time step for 100 years) will take approximately 4-8 hours.
