RAM and Swap Space and HD space
I would like to know the size of RAM as well as Swap space that I would need to run a 3D problem with STarCD. I am using a SGI machine. I am planning to use about 500000(0.5 million) - 1000000 (1 Million) cells.
Also I would like to know the HD space that I would need for a typical LES run using StarCd in 3D assuming I use a 100*100*50 mesh and store U, V, W and P Thanks |
Re: RAM and Swap Space and HD space
Hi,
As posted else where. I will recommend you not to use any sap space at all since that will degrade your performance very much. But you will properbly need about 2 - 4 time the physical memory in the computer, for just in case. As for the RAM, Star solver will need approx: 40-50 Mb per 100.000 hex cell In your case that would be around 200 Mb - 500 Mb, (0.5 - 1.0 Mil cells) depending on your model, user functions etc. As for the HD space when doing LES, it depend on how many time step you will store ! If you use th user fortran interface and store the variables by you self an estimate would be 100*100*50 * 8 byte(real) * No. of Variables * No. of time step. I do not quite know if you will use the pst files for storing the data, but approx. the same. Regards Jens |
set the swap space
hi dear
how can i set or change swap space in fluent ? I want to set 50Gb of my hard drive for this ? regard |
