J-OCTA recommended spec compliant workstation (under 50 yen) | TEGAKARI, an information dissemination media for research and development

A workstation that complies with J-OCTA recommended specifications (budget of 50 yen or less)

We have received inquiries from young researchers involved in molecular chemistry research about introducing PCs.
They would like to build a molecular simulation environment using J-OCTA and are considering taking advantage of the Young Researchers Support Campaign (5% off).
The client's budget is within 50 yen, and they are looking for a design that prioritizes CPU performance, with the OS being Windows and a GPU configuration that meets their rendering requirements.

The recommended operating environment for J-OCTA is as follows.
・CPU: Multi-core CPU recommended
・Memory: 16GB or more recommended
・Graphics card: OpenGL compatible graphics card (NVIDIA recommended)
・Hard disk: 200GB or more of free space

Reference: J-OCTA Functions - CAE Solutions: JSOL Corporation

Taking this requirement into consideration, we propose a workstation that prioritizes CPU performance as a suitable configuration for use with J-OCTA.

CPU	AMD Ryzen9 9950X 4.30GHz (up to 5.70GHz at Boost) 16C/32T
memory	Total 96GB DDR5-5600 48GB x 2

About CPU

To create an environment suitable for J-OCTA's parallel computing processing, we adopted the 16-core, 32-thread Ryzen 9 9950X.
It has practical computational performance that can withstand the long processing times and complex calculations of molecular dynamics software.

About GPU

J-OCTA is software that mainly performs calculations using the CPU, and the GPUDrawing aidswill remain in their role as
To ensure stable graphics performance, we selected the OpenGL-compatible NVIDIA RTX A400.

Memory and Storage

Equipped with DDR5-5600 48GB x 2 (96GB total), the memory can be expanded up to 192GB by utilizing the available slot.
The storage uses a high-speed 1TB NVMe Gen4 SSD, ensuring sufficient free space and storage area to meet J-OCTA requirements.
This configuration has ample capacity to accommodate future increases in processing load.

What is J-OCTA?

J-OCTA is a multi-scale simulation software for a variety of materials, including resins, rubber, and nanocomposites, as well as for the drug discovery field.
It supports multi-scale analysis, enabling prediction of properties from the atomic to the micrometer scale. It is widely used by researchers at universities and companies for material design, physical property evaluation, mechanism analysis, and other purposes. With a visually excellent GUI, multi-scale linking functions, and data science functions, it supports the discovery of knowledge that is difficult to obtain through experiments alone and improves the efficiency of research and development.
