General

I am trying to run matlab /simulink models for PID analysis/design/coding for a project involving nonlinear plant. The baseline model example given by MathWorks people takes 75 min in lap HP SPECTRE laptop( it has more goodies than MathWorks says one needs) just for 1 run...to get a useful product design one will need dozens of trials. Clearly, this is not a practical path. The real system we will extend this work to is 3 times more complex! What computing machine do we look for to speed up this simulation by a factor of 10 if not more? We may have to rent one such machine at the beginning... -robin
