A distribution module has been written in C, duplicating the algorithm accomplished in LavaPL. This document explains the ability for the C code to replicate the results of the Perl script and the misfit between the two scripts. Three maps illustrate the flow output of each model and the fit between the two models.

The maximum misfit in the 1972 inundated cells is 1.2 centimeters, for flows with 5 meter modal thicknesses. The time to run the codes were <1 second for the C module, 307 seconds for the Lava-loop in the Perl module.

lavaflow7-2crop.pl was used as the LavaPL perl code in this test.
