After about a year I have revisited the simulation tool timings matrix. This
matrix of tests has revised the list of hardware to include a Dell gaming laptop, 
a Chromebook, an 8-core Odroid ARM computer as well as an ARM based Laptop. 
We also explore the option of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) deployments 
of ESP-r/EnergyPlus/Radiance as well as recent improvements in run-times
for simulation tool use in Virtual computer environments.

Didn't know you could run simulation tools on Chromebook? And before Microsoft
roles out their 2nd generation of WSL find out how their initial offering
compares to 'running native'.

Here is link to timings web page:

The link is to the full-matrix version.  These will feed into the tool-specific web
pages on the Contrasting web site (http://contrasting.no-ip.org/Contrast/Index.html) 
in the near future.
