# Helical Mixer Benchmark (phasicFlow v-1.0)
## Overview
This benchmark compares the performance of phasicFlow with a well-stablished commercial DEM software for simulating a helical mixer with varying particle counts (250k to 4M particles). The benchmark measures both computational efficiency and memory usage across different hardware configurations.
## Simulation Setup

### Hardware Specifications
<div align="center">
Table 1. Hardware specifications used for benchmarking.
</div>
| System | CPU | GPU | Operating System |
| :---------: | :----------------------: | :--------------------------: | :--------------: |
| Laptop | Intel i9-13900HX 2.2 GHz | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050Ti 6G | Windows 11 24H2 |
| Workstation | Intel Xeon 4210 2.2 GHz | NVIDIA RTX A4000 16G | Ubuntu 22.04 |
### Simulation Parameters
<div align="center">
Table 2. Parameters for helical mixer simulations.
</div>
| Case | Particle Diameter | Particle Count |
| :-------: | :---------------: | :--------------: |
| 250k | 6 mm | 250,000 |
| 500k | 5 mm | 500,000 |
| 1M | 4 mm | 1,000,000 |
| 2M | 3 mm | 2,000,000 |
| 4M | 2 mm | 4,000,000 |
The time step for all simulations was set to 1.0e-5 seconds and the simulation ran for 7.5 seconds.
## Performance Comparison
### Execution Time
<div align="center">
Table 3. Total calculation time (minutes) for different configurations.
</div>
| Software | 250k | 500k | 1M | 2M | 4M |
| :---------------: | :----: | :-----: | :-----: | :-----: | :-----: |
| phasicFlow-4050Ti | 110 min | 215 min | 413 min | - | - |
| Commercial DEM-4050Ti | 111 min | 210 min | 415 min | - | - |
| phasicFlow-A4000 | 82 min | 150 min | 300 min | 613 min | 1236 min |
The execution time scales linearly with particle count. phasicFlow demonstrates approximately:
- the computing speed is basically the same as well-established commercial DEM software on the same hardware
- 30% performance improvement when using the NVIDIA RTX A4000 compared to the RTX 4050Ti

### Memory Usage
<div align="center">
Table 4. Memory consumption for different configurations.
</div>
| Software | 250k | 500k | 1M | 2M | 4M |
| :---------------: | :-----: | :-----: | :-----: | :-----: | :-----: |
| phasicFlow-4050Ti | 260 MB | 404 MB | 710 MB | - | - |
| Commercial DEM-4050Ti | 460 MB | 920 MB | 1574 MB | - | - |
| phasicFlow-A4000 | 352 MB | 496 MB | 802 MB | 1376 MB | 2310 MB |
Memory efficiency comparison:
- phasicFlow uses approximately 0.7 GB of memory per million particles
- Commercial DEM software uses approximately 1.5 GB of memory per million particles
- phasicFlow shows ~50% lower memory consumption compared to the commercial alternative
- The memory usage scales linearly with particle count in both software packages. But due to memory limitations on GPUs, it is possible to run larger simulation on GPUs with phasicFlow.
