Planning graphics hardware requirements for simulation
As an administrator, you will be able to identify hardware requirements for machines running ICM.
Hardware requirements vary, depending on which components a user will be running on their machine and the type of simulations they will be running.
On the graph is an example of a single simulation run on a different number of cores. Here, you can see a reasonable improvement in speed from two to four cores, but less of an improvement beyond.
For large 2D simulations, performance is improved with a good graphics card and sufficient memory.
Models containing both 1D and 2D objects will require performance CPU and GPU hardware.
ICM can place a high burden on the network when transferring large models and results files with the remote agent. Ensuring connection stability and bandwidth amongst the components is essential to avoiding poor performance and user issues.
