Figure 3 -- A CONICAL program is compared to the equivalent Genesis and Neuron scripts on several measures: (a) kilobytes of memory used at run time; (b) lines of user-written code, excluding comments; (c) CPU time required as a function of simulation time. Tests were run on a Sparc 10 workstation under SunOS 4.1.3. The amount of code (b) for the Neuron script is not strictly comparable to the others, since several parameters of the model could not be set from within the scripting language.
