Benchmark: SBPD vs. ODE15S

To display the improvement of the simulation speed, obtained through SBPD in comparison to the fastest MATLAB solver ODE15S, a benchmark was performed for three different models. The computer used was a DELL Latitude D610, Centrino 2GHz, 512MB RAM 800MHz, Windows XP.

As compiler for the MEX files MinGW was used, that is available in the SBTOOLBOX2 distribution.

The MATLAB script that was used is available in the SBPD distributions example folder.
