Example of workstation used for FDTD electromagnetic field analysis

■ This is an article posted on June 2020, 5, so the content of the information may be out of date.

We received an inquiry from a customer that they are considering a computer for scientific calculation such as FDTD electromagnetic field analysis.

Proposal example of Tegsys listing PC 6212 Based on (Example of PC for 3D optical analysis), OS is Windows, budget is about 50 yen, and FDTD and image analysis / data analysis using designated software (Lumerical, Matlab) are mainly used I heard your request, so I made a proposal accordingly.

As the specified software is not GPU compatible as of May 2020, the configuration is balanced with the highest priority of CPU within the budget. The GPU is low-end enough to display a screen, but if you have Matlab's Parallel Computing Toolbox and want to use the GPU, you can change the priority balance for the configuration. Also, the memory bandwidth in Lumerical is also important, so the memory with the maximum capacity and bandwidth when the CPU (Core i5 9XE) of this configuration is selected is selected.

【Main Specifications】

CPU Core i9 10980XE (3.00GHz 18 cores)
memory 256GB (32GBx8)
