Overview
This study examines the impact of memory bandwidth and speed on the performance of time and frequency domain solvers in CST Studio Suite. The evaluation focuses on the potential use of cost-effective, high-speed non-ECC memory in academic simulation environments. Benchmark simulations were conducted to assess performance variations based on mesh resolution, solver type, and memory speed, under a quad-channel memory configuration. Distributed computing techniques were intentionally excluded to isolate the effects of RAM performance. The findings could offer direction regarding hardware selection for optimized performance in CST-Studio’s electromagnetic simulations towards a cost-sensitive environment.
I attended the SIMULIA EuroCentral Users Meeting in Bamberg, Germany. Presenting a part of my EMI/EMC research, I do with DN Parasol, during the poster session and brainstorming with academic and industry experts made for an energising few days.
