Hello everyone
I need your help for my configuration. We will buy a workstation for our CFD group at the university. We will model mostly two phase flow CPU 2xIntel Xeon Gold X2 6140 or 2xIntel Xeon Gold X2 6148 RAM: 64GB LRDIMM Samsung DDR4-2666, CL19, reg. ECC (8x 64GB = 512GB) or 8X32=256GB NVIDIA Quadro P2000 5 GB GDDR5 Mainboard: ASUS WS C621E Sage, Dual So. 3647; E-ATX SSD: 512GB Samsung 970 Pro, M.2 PCIe (MZ-V7P512BW) HDD: 6TB Seagate IronWolf Pro NAS, SATA3, 7200RPM (ST6000NE0023) And some questions: 1) Do you have a suggestion for the cooling system? 2) Does the GPU provide additional performance for academic studies? Or should the money for CPU? 3) I've searched the AVX512, but I don't really understand. It seems that it has both negatives and positives? Thanks |

For a workstation, we will benefit more from a CPU with many cores. Palatalization efficiency strongly depends on your algorithm. Spend more time to optimize it. |

8 cores each in a dual-socket system already gets you 16 cores with shared memory. Then you can use some kind of interconnect (Ethernet, Infiniband...) to form a distributed memory cluster with as many cores as you can afford.

Hi there, I have a question, if you have let's say 56 cores on a single workstation, and 2 users that would like to submit job to this workstation mainly via Windows, what would be the best practice for this? should I set the workstation up as a linux server and install all ANSYS packages on it and have the 2 users submit their job from the windows using RSM or there are better ways to do this?
