All,



Anybody have approximate run times for the following linear static problems:



A) In 1995 on a reasonable workstation

20,000 degree of freedom



B) Now on modern desktop computer with quad core and plenty of RAM

20,000 degree of freedom

200,000 degree of freedom

1,000,000 degree of freedom

Any contributions/guesses/opinions welcome. The scatter will be useful.



Thanks



Lee
