For the last year or so alot of people have been talking about the use of "Deep Stops" to augment their decompression profiles following more extended technical exsposures. As most of you will know, Tissue Based algorithms do not lend themselfs well to artificial insertion of additional non-required deco stops, and adding these stops often increases future decompression obligations at shallower depths (when following the model). For some time I have been working on getting a model that would more accurately reflect diving in excess of 100m to run on a PC. I know have a model that runs a good Perfussion-Diffusion simulation that generates these deep stops. Problem is this thing is SLOW, BIG TIME SLOW. On a 120Mhz Pentium you are looking at 30 minute run times for a single point square profile, and the internal data matrices are HUGE. I am not sure it will even run with less than 32MB of RAM. Needless to say that this model was designed to run on a real computer but we are porting it over to the PC. My question is this. Is there anybody besides myself that would be willing to take that amount of time and horsepower to run the thing?? How important is creating a real profile with the deep stops fully incorporated into it?? And please, no flames about marketing crap. I don't need to waste my time on that garbage, I just want to know if there is any interest outside of the few of us that generate tables for a living.
