Dual-boot PC for computational fluid dynamics and structural analysis

This is a case that we proposed after consulting with "We are looking for a PC for structural analysis and computational fluid dynamics with a budget of 40 yen".

It is assumed to use "midas Gen" or "LS-Dyna" on Windows and "Intel Fortran" on CentOS (dual boot).
Since I wanted a multi-core Xeon to use MPI or OpenMP for the CPU, I chose 8 core Xeon according to my budget. In addition, considering the clustering with Infiniband, we introduced the PCI-Ex 16 slot with a structure that allows for additional communication boards.
