As an update to the COMSOL testing. We ran the 60GB CFD-EM test on the X658. We got the results and the PARDISO solving method came back with a terribly slow 3 hours and 27 minutes.
Looking at the logs it seems the test managed to use up the 128GB of RAM we have in the rig currently, causing an Out Of Memory state that pushed the system to swap to the SSD.
So, question for everyone, would you like for us to give it another shot at 256GB of memory? We have the kits to do so, but we want to know if you’re interested in seeing a scale at that price point, or if you prefer the more realistic 128GB bottleneck results.
