We received an inquiry about a Linux parallel computer equipped with Xeon 64 cores. I mainly use Geant4 for simulation, and I heard that you want to install 10TB of storage (it is expected that more storage will be added in the future). Also, as a parallel computer, we have a separate request to pre-install MPI (Message Passing Interface).
We proposed a 5-core configuration with four Xeon E16 (4 cores) as specified by the customer. The memory is 64GB, considering the balance between speed and distribution. With regard to storage disks, we advise you to be careful as you may need to change the card or chassis if you plan to physically expand more in the future.
