A researcher in the field of environmental and natural sciences contacted us to discuss the possibility of implementing a high-speed computing environment using the optical simulation software "RSoft DiffractMOD (RCWA)."
The client wanted a configuration that would allow for the parallel execution of multiple jobs, and was looking for a workstation that prioritized computational efficiency.
The maximum budget is around 100 million yen.

CPU and memory configuration
In electromagnetic field analysis using the RCWA method,Number of CPU coresIn addition toMemory speed and capacityThis also directly affects analysis efficiency.
Based on these requirements, we proposed a configuration suitable for parallel processing and large-scale calculations, combining the Intel Xeon 6521P (24 cores/48 threads) with 5GB of DDR5600-256 ECC Registered memory.
About GPU
RSoft DiffractMOD is analysis software based on the RCWA method, and is CPU-dependent, so GPU performance affects processing speed.Do not.
Therefore, we chose the low-end NVIDIA RTX A400 (4GB) to balance rendering stability and cost.
Future expansion
If you are considering introducing the optical analysis software "FullWAVE FDTD," you will need to select a GPU based on the official recommended specifications.
If you are considering introducing FDTD, please consult us in advance so that we can introduce you to a system that can accommodate an expansion of applications.
For detailed GPU requirements, please refer to the official Synopsys system requirements page.
