of a system for 4 µs at 2,000 K in only a total run time of around 0.5 CPU-hours. This simulation would need to be run for 6,000 weeks for an MD simulation, so the KMC is around 8 orders of magnitude faster. Inversely, the KMC simulation becomes less useful at high temperatures since it can predict a total run time of only 200 ps at 4,500 K in 0.5 CPU-hours which would necessitate around 2,000 CPU-hours for an MD simulation, so the KMC is only 3 orders of magnitude faster at this temperature. Hence, the model developed here and run with the KMC algorithm is particularly suited for low temperatures predictions.
