A machine suitable for using SCONE and OpenSim (budget 250 million yen)

A customer involved in research on musculoskeletal models and posture control consulted us about a machine for predictive calculation of biological motion using "SCONE" and development and analysis of musculoskeletal models using "OpenSim". .

Assuming analysis and optimization of human motion, optimization processing is performed in parallel by CPU threads. We know that the CPU speed and number of cores directly affect the calculation time, so you requested a configuration with a large number of cores.
Although the HDD capacity is not large, we are requesting selection of a product with high processing speed in order to write in real time.

We would like Windows 10 as the OS, which is stable in the current environment, and we hear that the budget is around 250 million yen.

Based on the conditions you contacted us, we proposed the following configuration.

【Main Specifications】

CPU AMD Ryzen ThreadripperPRO 5995WX (2.70GHz 64 cores)
memory 512GB
storage 4TB M.2 SSD
video Nvidia T400
network on board (1GbE x1 10GBase-T x1)
Housing + power supply Tower type housing + 1000W
OS Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

Since you requested a configuration with a large number of cores, we considered a configuration with 64 cores/128 threads.
At the time of the proposal, we were able to guide you in a relatively short delivery time, so we are telling you about it as an advantage.

Since there was no specification of memory capacity, it is temporarily set to 512 GB considering the machine scale. SSD prioritizes speed and chooses M.2 type 4TB products.

Also, considering the nature of the software, we decided that the video performance should be enough to output to the screen at a general level, so we chose a low-end type video card.

The OS is Windows 10,Windows 10 itself has already ended, so if the software side supports it, we strongly recommend using Windows 11.
If you need a lot of cores anyway, you can use EPYC by using a Linux OS instead of Windwos 10, and you can achieve a 128 core / 256 thread configuration.

The configuration of this case study is based on the conditions given by the customer.
Please feel free to contact us even if you are considering different conditions from what is posted.

 

■FAQ

・What is SCONE?
SCONE is open source software for predictive simulation of human and animal movements.
Neuromuscular controllers can be defined and optimized for optimal performance of specific tasks, such as walking speed and energy efficiency.
