Balance is the Best Route to Workstation Performance

摘要

Instead of fixating on the fastest processor or locking on state-of-the-art GPU capabilities to drive CAD and simulation performance, design engineers should take a more balanced approach to configuring their optimal workstation. Many engineers, hungry for the ultimate in performance, are inclined to shell out top dollar on a workstation simply because it sports the highest-end processor or the latest in GPU technology. However, they do so at the risk of underplaying other workstation components-specifically, memory and storage-which can play key roles in bolstering overall system performance, oftentimes at a lower cost.
