CST's applications can be classified as high performance computing. Therefore the CPU, memory and graphic performance should meet high requirements. Likewise a sufficient power supply and heat flow have to be ensured for the PC. Thus we strongly recommend to buy a complete package from a brandname manufacturer, e.g. DELL, HP, or IBM.
We strongly recommend that the following components are chosen for the hardware:
• Front-Side-Bus with 1.600 MHz (supported by e.g. Intel® Xeon® CPUs E5482 & E5472)
• Fast memory modules supporting 800 MHz
• Memory modules need to be arranged in multiples of four (4 modules, 8 modules, etc)
• Power supply/adapter with 1 kW (especially important when many memory modules or an Acceleware acceleration card is used)
The attached PDFs contain two DELL PC configurations with selected components working together properly.
It contains a Dual-CPU System of Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors (3,0 GHz, 1.600 MHz FSB), also called "Harpertown". The PC system is equipped with 16 GB FBD memory, and it is recommended for the usage of CST STUDIO SUITE™.
For an high-end PC system we recommend to extend this system to 32 GB FBD memory. The extension might be necessary e.g. for large-scale simulations or when using the Integral Equation solver of CST MICROWAVE STUDIO®, or if the Acceleware hardware acceleration equipment is used.
NOTE: CST assumes no liability for any problems due to the following hardware recommendation.
