Thank you Dr. Szilard.
This was really helpful. Incidentally, we eventually decided on a i7-4930K,
so we got that right ;).
As advised, we have now junked the idea of an ethernet cluster. We will be
testing the GPU systems first, then we will decide on furthur course of
action.
Thanks again.

Thank you Mirco and Szilard,
With regards to the GPU system, I have decided on a Xeon E5-1650 v2 system
with GEForce GTX -780 Ti GPU for equilibration and production runs with
small systems. But for large systems or REMD simulations, I am a bit
skeptical on banking on GPU systems. Any pointers as t
Hi,
You need fast network to parallelize across multiple nodes. 1 Gb
ethernet won't work well and even even 10/40 Gb ethernet needs to be
of good quality; you'd likely need to buy separate adapters, the
on-board ones won't perform well. I posted some links to the list
related to this a fed days ag
