  1. Each column shows the time required in hours to optimise the model 16 times to all 4 experimental nystagmus waveforms,
  2. as population size is increased. NSGA-II was run for 100 generations in each case. Serial-CPU: results obtained using only
  3. 1 core of the i7-4790K CPU. Parallel-CPU: results obtained using all 4 cores of the i7-4790K CPU. Parallel-GPU: results
  4. obtained using the FirePRO W8100 GPU, with all 4 cores of the i7-4790K CPU
