Hardware design, several things. Primarily EM simulation and big FPGA sim, complex analog sim, or just big schematics. When doing a schematic review, it is helpful to have half a dozen or more large PDFs (datasheets) open while viewing schematics, a few spreadsheets, some Word & Visio design docs, and other miscellaneous goodies. I can open/close things as needed, but that makes it take 2-3 times as long (a week instead of a day and a half).
32GB is OK for this. 64GB would be nicer. I might ask for it next year. It would be nice to still be able to work on other things effectively while a signal integrity/crosstalk sim is crunching numbers. *Drew Van ZandtArtisan's Asylum Board of DirectorsFirefly Arts Collective Board of Directors* On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 11:48 AM, Mike Small <sma...@panix.com> wrote: > Drew Van Zandt <drew.vanza...@gmail.com> writes: > > > 16GB seems like a small amount of memory to me; I generally use 24GB > > or more.
