algorithm comparison app?

What is the reason?

It works and is fully documented, not a "trust me" algorithm.

Aren’t Thalmann models super heavy computationally (for a dive computer)?

Love that phrasing btw

I think the only one I heard of is the Cochran Navy and I think the company closed 5 years ago. But the actual Cochran navy computer isn't "fully documented" like the Vval18 itself. If the Cochran navy did it 24 years ago, surely today a dive computer can accomplish that. But i'm just guessing.
Anyway there are many fully documented algorithems. Vval18 is just one of them. The Buhlamn appeal to the public can't be explained just by that logic. Also the phrase "it works" is debatable when you start thinking about great depth.

VVal18 is not more computaly intensive than Bülhmann.

Thalmann has also been involved in probabilistic models from which deducing a deco schedule is, AFAIK, more costly. You may be confusing both.

Very likely.
I honestly know very little about either Thalmann models, just that (one of them) is computationally heavy
I try every now and then looking for the math behind it to try and understand it, but no luck (except for the ugly looking navy study)
