When using an mkin version equal to or greater than 0.9-36 and a C compiler is available, you will see a message that the model is being compiled from autogenerated C code when defining a model using mkinmod. Starting from version 0.9.49.9, the mkinmod() function checks for presence of a compiler using

pkgbuild::has_compiler()

In previous versions, it used Sys.which("gcc") for this check.

Platform specific notes

On Linux, you need to have the essential build tools like make and gcc or clang installed. On Debian based linux distributions, these will be pulled in by installing the build-essential package.

On MacOS, which I do not use personally, I have had reports that a compiler is available by default.

On Windows, you need to install Rtools and have the path to its bin directory in your PATH variable. You do not need to modify the PATH variable when installing Rtools. Instead, I would recommend to put the line

Comparison with other solution methods

First, we build a simple degradation model for a parent compound with one metabolite, and we remove zero values from the dataset.

We can compare the performance of the Eigenvalue based solution against the compiled version and the R implementation of the differential equations using the benchmark package. In the output of below code, the warnings about zero being removed from the FOCUS D dataset are suppressed. Since mkin version 0.9.49.11, an analytical solution is also implemented, which is included in the tests below.

We see that using the compiled model is by a factor of around 9 faster than using the R version with the default ode solver, and it is even faster than the Eigenvalue based solution implemented in R which does not need iterative solution of the ODEs.

We see that using the compiled model is by more than a factor of 10 faster than using deSolve without compiled code.
