Solution-time comparisons of digital computers and DDAs

Recent emphasis on reducing computing time for various scientific problems has given rise to a number of programming efificiency studies and searches for shortcut algorithms. In particular, numerical solutions of differential equations have produced several "better" integration methods. However, most of these algorithms tend to consume vast amounts of computer time. Some interesting results to show how differential equations can be solved on special digital incremental computers, with considerable savings in time at no comparable loss in accuracy, are presented.
