These are timing and accuracy results to solve the system $$ \gathered -\nabla\cdot(a\nabla u)+b\cdot\nabla u+cu=f\quad\text{on }\Omega, \\ a\frac{\partial u}{\partial n}+\gamma u=g\quad\text{on }\partial Omega. \endgathered $$ with $b=0$ and $\Omega=[0,1]^2$ on a regular grid of size $129 \times 129$ with one set of diagonals and linear finite elements. Conjugate gradient with various preconditioers was used. I solved the problem on the k=7'th refinement of the two-triangulation of the square until the dot product of the residual with the preconditioner of the residual was $16^{-k}$. It's not clear to me what the stopping criterion should be. The four columns of numbers are L2 error, H1 error, User ms, and GC ms. The L2 and H1 errors were estimated by injecting the approximate solution into a $257 \times 257$ grid and comparing it with the interpolant of the true solution on the fine grid. The problems are roughly in increasing order of difficulty; in the last problem, for example, the stiffness coefficient $a$ varies from 1.0 to 21.0 over the domain. User ms is the amount of user+system time to solve the linear system only; every once in a while there was a garbage collection during the solution process, whose time is measured separately. The tests were run on a dual processor, 500 MHz, Alpha 21264 DS20 clone with 4 Mbytes of cache on each processor and 2 Gbytes of main memory. The program was coded in Scheme with the Meroon object system and compiled from Scheme->C by a hacked version of Gambit-C 3.0; the C code was compiled with gcc-2.95.1 with options "-mcpu=ev6 -fno-math-errno -mieee -O2". a=1, c=1, u=x^2-y^2, Neumann CG: (Identity preconditioner) .0000178524 .0055265902 1859. 1002.
