FDTD method Two electromagnetic field simulation machines

■ This is an article posted on June 2016, 8, so the content of the information may be out of date.

A customer who viewed the case published in 2013 asked us about a workstation to obtain the electromagnetic wave propagation of lightning discharge radiation and the electron density change in the upper atmosphere by numerical calculation using the FDTD method. .

We proposed two plans that are the current optimization of the original case.

Cost performance priority Core i4110 specification / PC-XNUMXB

【Main Specifications】

CPU Core i7 6950X (3.00GHz 10 cores)
memory 128GB
storage HDD 1TB
network Gigabit LAN x1
video HD6450
Housing + power supply Middle tower case + 650W
OS CentOS7 64bit

The Core i7 specification has price merits, but cannot support more CPU selection and memory expansion.


Expandable Xeon specifications such as memory expansion / PC-4110A

【Main Specifications】

Xeon E5-2687w v4 (3.00GHz 12 cores) / Memory 128GB ECC REG / HDD 1TB
GigabitLAN x2 / Middle tower case + 650W / HD6450 / CentOS 7 64bit

CPU Xeon E5-2687w v4 (3.00GHz 12 cores)
memory 128GB ECC REG
storage  HDD 1TB
network Gigabit LAN x2
video HD6450
Housing + power supply Middle tower case + 650W
OS CentOS7 64bit

Although the price of Xeon specification is slightly higher, it has expandability such as memory expansion (memory is ECC REG type).
