Small Update

Hello all, last week I spoke with my professor about my test results and it was determined that I should drop using the computer Archie, and instead use a more powerful one known as Israel. This was decided since the guetzli can potentially use up to six Gigabytes of memory and Archie has only four. Israel on the other hand, has about eight times the memory and would not be overloaded as easily. That in mind, I will be using that computer going forward for the next stages.

Regarding performance, preliminary tests suggest that optimization level 3 and fast, have settings that shorten the overall processing time of 3 minutes and 39.5 seconds by roughly one second. Clearly there is potential here so I look forward to how more specific optimization for the program will run on this computer.

Well see you next time!
