NONMEM on a PowerMac
Absoft has come up with another version of their FORTRAN compiler for the
Macintosh. This is V 4.1. I have recompiled the NONMEM files and put
together another version of the help folder for other Macintosh/NONMEM
users. Again the results are good (I think). I was able to optimize some
files I couldn't before and not optimize one or two that optimized with
v4.0 of the compiler. Oh well. The test runs are a little faster. I used
the sample runs presented in:
NONMEM User's Guide Part III (Nov 92) Page 3. Using the NONMEM20-25 files.

as benchmarks. The timings etc. are shown above for a PowerMac6100/60AV.
Times are about half the 1992 benchmark values. I've put together a few
files including the make files for the Absoft compiler for the PowerMac
v4.1.
