Recommended Workstation configuration - FLUX

Iñigo

Hi , 

 

I want to get a Workstation to run FLUX simulations. Some other FEM providers recommend proven and/or stable configurations, Or indicate which parameter improves the software performance. But i could not find such infirmation for FLUX. 

 

On the user manual, the MUMPS multi-thread, multi-core computing is described as ' out-of-core' technique. Therefore , I believe that hard-drive speed and system memory is a priority. 
However, I don't know if Graphics Card acceleration is used by FLUX. Can you confirm those points ?

 

Also, is it better to choose a high-thread-number CPU but lower single-core performance , or better single-core performace and lower threads ?  

 

 

Kind regards, 

Iñigo

About GPU, have a look at:

• https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/tesla-abaqus-accelerations/
• https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/gpu-accelerated-applications/abaqus/
• https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/gpu-accelerated-applications/ansys/

You have to choice between:

• Core number
• CPU frequency
