Finite Element Assembly Using an Embedded Domain Specific Language

Table 3

Linear system assembly times (wall clock time and timings relative to the default Proto implementation) for the Poisson problem on the unit cube, using first order tetrahedron or hexahedron shape functions on a 100 × 100 × 100 grid.

	Dummy matrix		Epetra matrix
	Wall clock (s)	Relative	Wall clock (s)	Relative
Proto, default	3.29	1	5.51	1
Proto, hexahedra	4.60	1.40	5.65	1.03
Proto, 1st order	0.81	0.25	2.64	0.48
DOLFIN	1.22	0.37	5.05	0.92
