I am new to OpenFOAM and am looking at hardware for testing it out. I am wondering if anybody has any guidance about the two different possibilities I was thinking of:
2 separate workstations (2x dual core) = total 8 cores connected by gigabit ethernet vs. 1 single workstation (2x quad core) = total 8 cores The separate machines are overall lower cost but would this truely show the parallel scalability (up to 8 cores) that is achievable? The purpose of these machines are to check capabilities of OF as well as see how it scales in parallel. Thanks, Jason Ryon |
