Budget (including currency): N/A USD

Country: U.S.

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Ansys HFSS

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

Hello All,

 

I'm putting together a build based on Epyc Genoa specifically for use with Ansys HFSS. If there is a better sub-forum for this, please feel free to move it. 

 

Current parts list:

Epyc 9654

128Gb RDIMM @4800Mt/s x12

Asus ESC4000A-E12-26WGP

RTX 6000 ada x2

Samsung PM9A3 x2

Sabrent Rocket 5 2tb x4

 

it will most likely end up running RHEL 8. 

 

The goal is to run high level simulations, and was curious if anyone here has had the opportunity to play with EPYC and Ansys. Also, I've read some conflicting arguments about memory bandwidth between Genoa and Sapphire rapids. Am I missing something though? Is this the best platform to go with? Thanks in advance.

Edit: I am a technician that works at a field site for a research university. While we aren't out in the wilderness or anything, accessing the proper IT resources is cumbersome and sometimes just flat out unavailable. So a few of us pitch in for hardware projects. I have a decent understanding of what I'm doing, but not an experts.

From a quick google search, This program has a preference for Intel CPUs.

Yes, but a lot of articles are out of date. Ansys adopted the AMD optimized CPU libraries and Zen 3 plus are now fully supported.

Yes, but I am also looking for advice from industry professionals on a fairly specific topic, or honestly anyone with experience with this level of hardware.
