Eugen Kubowsky proposed the following answer: Hi Anton, thanks for your help so far! Let me give yo some more technical details about the workstation solutions that I have in mind. There are 4 of these solutions. Two of them are Intel and the other ones AMD. INTEL ------ "low-price": (16 cores, 2ghz) - 2x Intel® Xeon® Sandy Bridge- EP Series Processor E5- 2650, 2.00 GHz, 8-Core Socket 2011, 20MB Cache, max. 1600MHz (DDR3 Memory Speed), QPI 8.00 GT/s, - 128 GB (16x 8GB) / PC1600 Reg. ECC, 2R, 1600mhz - 2x 2TB SATA3- HDD Western Digital WD CAVIAR Black "high-end": (16 cores, 3,1ghz) - 2x Intel® Xeon® Sandy Bridge- EP Series Processor E5- 2687W, 3,10 GHz, 8- Core Socket 2011, 20MB Cache, max. 1600MHz (DDR3 Memory Speed), QPI 8.00 GT/s - 256 GB (16x 16GB) / PC1600 Reg. ECC, 2R - 120GB SSD SATAIII 6GPS 2.5” Intel 520 Series, 550/520 MB/S read/write - 2x 2TB SATA3- HDD Western Digital WD CAVIAR Black AMD ----- "low-price": (32 cores, 2,1ghz) - 2x AMD Opteron™ 6200 series (Interlagos) Processor 6272, 2,1 GHz, 16- Core, Socket G34, 16x1024KB/16MB L2/L3, max. 1600MHz (DDR3 Memory Speed) Cache, max. 1600MHz (DDR3 Memory Speed), QPI 8.00 GT/s, - 128 GB (16x 8GB) / PC1600 Reg. ECC, 2R, 1600mhz - 2x 2TB SATA3- HDD Western Digital WD CAVIAR Black "high-end": (32 cores, 2,7ghz) - 2x AMD Opteron™ 6200 series (Interlagos) Processor 6284SE, 2,7 GHz, 16-Core, Socket G34, 16x1024KB/16MB L2/L3, max. 1 600MHz (DDR3 Memory Speed) - 256 GB (16x 16GB) / PC1600 Reg. ECC, 2R - 120GB SSD SATAIII 6GPS 2.5” Intel 520 Series, 550/520 MB/S read/write - 2x 2TB SATA3- HDD Western Digital WD CAVIAR Black graphics --------- Do I need a graphics card like PCI-Express Nvidia QUADRO 600 1024MB DDR3, 1 GB DDR3, 128 - bit, DirectX 11 (or even a better one?) or is something like GF GT 640 ZONE 2GB DDR3 NVIDIA/ 2048 MB/ DDR3/ 128 Bit/ GPU-frequ: 900 MHz/ memory frequ: 1782 MHz sufficient? There is also an option for 32 cores Intel respectively 64 cores AMD solution, but i guess they would be too expensive... What do you think would be the best workstation for dynamic simulation with a lot of particles in dense packing? Thanks for Help!
