The customer consulted with us on a workstation for total core calculation that simulates a reactor fuel assembly by the Monte Carlo method.
NEA Data Bank Computer Program SCALE,ORIGIN, And of Los Alamos National LaboratoryMCNPAnd PHITS (Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System)CodesThe following workstations have been proposed with the configuration that meets the requirements.
【Main Specifications】
| CPU | Xeon Platinum 8260 (2.40GHz 24 cores) x 2 (total 48 cores) |
| memory | 96GB (16GB x 6) ECC REG |
| storage | System: SSD 1TB (S-ATA) / Data: HDD 1TB x 2 RAID1 (S-ATA) |
| video | AMD Radeon R5 230 |
| network | GigabitLANx2 (1000Base-T) |
| Housing + power supply | Tower enclosure (width 178 x height 452 x depth 647 mm) + 1200W |
| OS | Ubuntu 18.04 |
| Others | MegaRAID (hardware RAID card) / additional cooling fan / "Anshin +" 3-year warranty |
Regarding storage, the system consists of SSD for system + HDD for data, and the data area is mirroring (RAID1). The display output is equipped with a video card in order to make the GUI operation somewhat comfortable.
Please note that this configuration only supports 1000Base-T, not 10/100Base-T.
