One of our clients is looking for a workstation to be able to efficiently work with FEKO.

Can I kindly ask you if you know some workstation that would allow efficient operation of FEKO?

Requirement:

  • MALE UAV RCS Calculation for 10GHz source with MoM (method of Moments)
  • Full airplane models
  • Need for efficiency in the calculations
  • Overall, the need is for heavy computations in FEKO, what is the best workstation that could deliver the job!

 They are claiming only to find a Dell that would do the job. Is there a list of hardware that would work nicely?

Many thanks in advance,

Elias

    You can use Dell or any other workstation but the Intel Xeon processors are most popular among the workstations. When acquiring new hardware, I would recommend to max out the RAM that you can buy within the available budget, then spend on the no. of cores and if there is still money left, buy a good graphics card (Feko supports Cuda enabled nvidia GPUs.
