Electromagnetic field simulation machine (September 2023 edition)

Case No.PC-9766B,PC 9922A customer who viewed our website asked us to install a workstation for COMSOL Multiphysics.

We have heard that the customer has previously confirmed the operation of COMSOL Multiphysics on the following PCs.

■Proven configuration of COMSOL Multiphysics

・CPU: Intel Xeon Gold 5217 x2
・ Memory: 192GB
・OS: Windows 10 Professional

Therefore, we would like to request a proposal that incorporates the following conditions based on PC-9766B and PC-9922, which have specifications close to your desired specifications.

■Conditions you want to include in your new machine

・CPU: Xeon series, around 3.00GHz
・Memory: About 256GB

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

CPU Intel Xeon W5-2465X (3.10GHz 16 cores)
memory 256GB REG ECC
storage 1TB M.2 SSD
video NVIDIA RTX A2000 12GB
network on board (2.5GbE x1, 10GbE x1)
Housing + power supply Tower type housing + 1000W
OS Microsoft Windows 11 Professional 64bit

The cases selected as base configuration candidates for the installation machine are difficult to propose at this time due to the CPU generation and specifications.Therefore, we considered a new configuration based on PC-9766B and equipped with the latest Xeon W-2400 series Xeon W5-2465X.

Case No.PC-11114
(This case)
CPU: Xeon W5-2465X
(Rated/maximum clock: 3.10GHz/4.70GHz, number of cores: 16 cores)
Memory: DDR5-4800 REG ECC memory total 256GB
Case No.PC-9766B CPU: Xeon W-2275
(Rated/maximum clock: 3.30GHz/4.60GHz, number of cores: 14 cores)
Memory: DDR4-2933 REG ECC memory total 256GB

The spec comparison between the two cases is as shown above, and both CPU and memory performance exceed that of the base PC-2B configuration.

Regarding GPU, COMSOL does not support GPU acceleration and does not support GeForce series video cards.

Therefore, we have selected a NVIDIA RTX A2000 12GB video card for mid-class workstations, but this can be changed according to your wishes.

The configuration of this case study is based on the conditions given by the customer.
We will flexibly propose machines according to your conditions, so please feel free to contact us even if you are considering different conditions than what is listed.
