compiled_models.Rmd
This evaluation is taken from the example section of mkinfit. When using an mkin version equal to or greater than 0.9-36 and a C compiler (gcc) is available, you will see a message that the model is being compiled from autogenerated C code when defining a model using mkinmod. The mkinmod()
function checks for presence of the gcc compiler using
## gcc
## "/usr/bin/gcc"
First, we build a simple degradation model for a parent compound with one metabolite.
library("mkin", quietly = TRUE)
SFO_SFO <- mkinmod(
parent = mkinsub("SFO", "m1"),
m1 = mkinsub("SFO"))
## Successfully compiled differential equation model from auto-generated C code.
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.

"deSolve, not compiled" = mkinfit(SFO_SFO, FOCUS_2006_D,

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.
This evaluation is also taken from the example section of mkinfit.

Here we get a performance benefit of a factor of 11 using the version of the differential equation model compiled from C code!
