Abstract

"Code Generation for Generally Mapped Finite Elements" includes performance results for the finite element methods discussed in that manuscript. The authors provided a Zenodo archive with the Firedrake components and dependencies used, as well as the scripts that generated the results. The software was installed on two similar platforms; then, new results were gathered and compared to the original results. After completing this process, the results have been deemed replicable by the reviewer.
