Speed Improvements in Thermo-Calc 2016a
Figure 1. Benchmarking with Thermo-Calc Version S, 2015b and 2016a for property diagram calculations for 5 to 8 component alloy systems show the increased speed of Thermo-Calc calculations for different databases.
Figure 2. Benchmarking with Thermo-Calc 2015b and 2016a for phase diagram calculations at a constant temperature for 5 to 12 component alloy systems show the increased speed of Thermo-Calc calculations for different databases.
Figure 3. Benchmarking of the loading time of the TCNI8 database in Thermo-Calc 2016a shows a speed increase of up to 55%.
Figure 4. Benchmarking of TCNI8 database calculation times comparing Thermo-Calc Version S, 2015b, 2015b with optimized database and 2016a showing up to 68% faster times.
