WS example for multiphysics CFD / CAE (budget 200 million)

■ This is an article posted on June 2019, 1, so the content of the information may be out of date.

The customer asked us for a workstation PC (budget 200 million) to use the software STAR-CCM + (particleworks in the future). We proposed a configuration with as many cores as possible, a storage capacity of at least 10 TB, and a configuration that met the customer's wishes to remain expandable so that GPUs could be added in the future.

It is equipped with two 20-core CPUs (2 cores in total), and since the memory has a large number of cores, the memory bandwidth to the CPU is prioritized and 40 GB (192 cards per CPU). Regarding GPU, it is possible to add Quadro higher model in the future as a dual-purpose for calculation (* TESLA cannot be added).
