Computer algorithms

[richhagelin]

There have been various comments about which computers use the most conservative versus most aggressive algorithms.

Is there any place that you can compare the algorithms. Anyone out there dived with various computer models and have a feeling which are most conservative/most liberal?

Some of the reviews show a table rating computers based on risk. An example is at: http://www.scubadiving.com/gear/budgcomp/free.shtml

You might browse thru this & see if it helps.

unfortunately he has some of his facts wrong.. He obviouslt didn't put in enough research..

I would expect the Nitek 3 to have short NDL limits compated to others since it was designed as a deco computer so different limits are put in place..
He also stated the sunto uses RGBM it does not!! it uses rgbm type folding but not the true RGBM alg only 1 computer (which wasn't reviewed) has it.. The Hs explorer (oem) and the Abyss explorer (same computer as hs-explorer but with abyss modifiers on the buhlman algs -not sure if the RGBM version is shipping yet, if not it will be).


another computer they chose not to review was the VR3, which again has lots of programability.
