Performance Benchmarks

This section of the user documentation lays out some benchmarks for gauging system performance on the newest XG version of the OP5650 and OP5707 (including the new OPAL-RTLinux v3 operating system) being introduced in early 2021 versus their previous generation.

Benchmark	Minimum Time-Step	Performance Increase over Previous Generation	Model Availability	Minimum License Required
