CFD hardware requirements

Hello Everyone!!
I am associated with a semiconductor manufacturing company and we are interested in doing some chip and board level thermal simulations using a commercial CFD code (haven't decided which one yet). I wished to know if anyone has any experience in this field. Also we want to buy hardware for this purpose. There were specifically a few things that I needed to know. 1. Speed and so much reduced run times is the priority while choosing the hardware. Apart from the processor speed, what else should I consider? Does RAM and Harddrive space matter? 2.How do I quantify the complexity of a particular problem?Is the number of cells a god indicator? I need this information because I need some performance data from the vendor and I need to specify how complex the problem is. 3. Is there any other source from which I will have the performance data of a say particular CFD problem run on NT v/s Unix. Does anybody have any such data? Can anyone give their opinion about which operating platform is better. Unix or NT? How reliable is NT? I am aware of some of the responses that were floated to similar questions in the discussion forum. However, I will very much appreciate any input about these questions. Thanks very much again for your help. Jay |
