Quantum ESPRESSO Workstation (Installation fee included)


A customer working on materials analysis using first-principles calculations (Quantum ESPRESSO) asked us for a dedicated Linux environment that could handle faster and larger-scale calculations.
Our client is currently analyzing lattice and defect structures on a 72-atom scale.
The budget is 100 to 200 million yen, and the project seeks computational resources capable of handling defect analysis, band structure, and density of states calculations using supercells.
We are currently running a Threadripper PRO (32 cores/64 threads) with 64GB of memory, and we are looking for a configuration that is optimal for Quantum ESPRESSO, which will resolve the issues of insufficient physical memory and stability.

CPU AMD EPYC 9654 2.40GHz 96C/192T
memory Total 384GB DDR5 5600 REG ECC 32GB x 12
Storage 1 4TB SSD M.2 NVMe Gen4
Video NVIDIA RTX A1000 8GB (MiniDisplayPort x4)
network on board (10GBase-T x2)
Housing + power supply Mid-tower chassis + 1000W 80PLUS PLATINUM
OS Ubuntu 24.04

CPU and memory configuration

Quantum ESPRESSO calculations include:Parallel computing performance and memory capacity have a large impactIt has been with.
To improve speed and stability, we've adopted the 96-core EPYC 9654 (96 cores/192 threads), which is a significant improvement over the previous 32-core processor.
Memory capacity per coreTwice as much as beforeIt has a capacity of 384GB.

GPU selection

In this case, the GPU will not be used for anything other than image rendering, so the RTX A1000 was selected for rendering purposes.

OS environment and power supply unit

This configuration comes with Quantum ESPRESSO pre-installed and is set up so you can start researching immediately after arrival.
In addition, a 1000W power supply unit is installed, which has more than enough power to cover the expected power consumption, ensuring stability in this configuration.

Keyword

What is Quantum Espresso?

Quantum ESPRESSO is an open-source first-principles calculation package used by researchers in materials science and chemistry to analyze the electronic structure of atoms, molecules, and individual bodies.
It is possible to perform highly accurate calculations of electronic states using the pseudopotential method and plane wave basis, primarily density functional theory (DFT), and is widely used in the design of new materials, property prediction, material modeling, and more.
