workstation for CFD simulations

mechy · July 29, 2020, 15:00

Hi everyone,
my institution planning to purchase a new workstation for CFD simulation.
the proposed system is 3 nodes of the following specification

CPU: Xeon Gold 6226R (2 number per one motherboard)
GPU: 4215R
RAM 4*32GB DDR4-2933

Is this specification has optimum performance and speed ?
with the same budget, have we a better choice for CPU and GPU ?

Best Regards

Most of the answers can be found just one thread below, unless you are using some niche software, which you should really tell us: New workstation

I have never heard of "4215R" when it comes to GPUs.
Also, I am not quite sure if this is going to be a mini cluster ("system is 3 nodes") or three separate workstations.

Hi Alex
thanks so much for your replay
as you said, this is a mini cluster.
excuse me, 4215R is not the GPU it is a Xeon CPU for master computer unit.
