Survey Results: Workstations for Meshing

▤ Summary

Given that question #1 asked for the respondent’s email address (which we collect solely to ensure one response per participant), let’s proceed with the data. Given that (in my opinion at least) RAM gives you the most benefit for your computing dollar, I’m surprised that one third of the respondents have less than 32 GB on their workstation. We did a pilot implementation about a decade ago that showed both good acceleration and an unacceptable degree of complication for the source code. Question #11 segues from the workstation people are using now to potential future use of a high performance computing (HPC) platform for mesh generation. Several conclusions are based, as my attorney friends would say, on “facts not in evidence.” I have supplemented the survey data with other information of which I am aware.
