Size Comparisons
22nm tri-gate transistor’s gates that are so small, you could fit
more than 4000 of them across the width of a human hair.
A nanometer is a billionth of a meter. It's ten angstroms.
More than 6 million 22nm tri-gate transistors could fit in the period at
the end of this sentence.
Haswell has 2.6B transistors but High Core Count has 5.7B transistors
The atoms used in silicon chip fabrication are around 0.2nm
In 2010, an Australian team announced that they fabricated a single
functional transistor out of 7 atoms that measured 4 nm in length

• Cores Turbo Boost but the noncore regions stayed at a fixed frequency
Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge
• Core and non-core boost together
Haswell
•Energy Efficient Turbo --The two elements of the chip can turbo up and down
independently
That means applications that are bound by memory and cache latency can drive the non-core (the L3 cache and
the interconnect rings) faster without boosting the cores; applications that are bound on compute can boost their
core clocks without having to raise the non-core regions and wasting power.1

Reliability – What to Look For?
1. Higher end processors and graphics cards use more wattage
a. Processor and Graphics come with thermal design
2. Cooling Design
a. Air flow
b. Complexity
3. Power supply efficiency – less heat inside the system
4. Reputation & Studies – check online

Respondents reported on their experience with a total of more than
500,000 workstations, 92% of which were desktop workstations.
• Respondents were asked if they documented repair rates, or if their
reported rates were estimated.
• Only documented repair rates were used in calculations of repair rates.
Lenovo workstations had lowest average repair rates in all three years
represented in this study:
• Leading to 23% fewer interruptions in the first year of ownership
•19% in the second year
•36% in the third year

Memory Sizing
• Enough memory to store your model and application in memory
• Typical 8 to10x saved
• Avoid relying on storage devices, will be significantly slower
• Model sizes grow – double every 2-3 years

ECC Memory: A Key to Dependable Use
ECC Memory is available on all ThinkStations• Correctable memory errors caused by Gamma Rays penetrating the earth
• They often change a single digit which goes undetected
• A single digit change is significant
• 4800mm = 1001011000000
• 5824mm = 1011011000000
• 3 Year Google Study showed
• 1 system in 3 experiences correctable memory errors
• 228X more likely to see a second error in the same month
• Memory DIMMS get worse with usage and time
• Recommends ECC memory to avoid single digit memory errors

Google ECC Memory Study
Google ECC Memory Studied a Large
Number of Servers, 2009 Presentation
at SIGMETRICS/Performance’09 Conference
• Rates higher than previous small scale
studies
• 25,000 to 70,000 errors per billion device
hours per megabit.
•High-end 5 single bit errors in 8
Gigabytes of RAM per hour
•8.2% of all memory DIMMs affected by
errors each year

Conclusions
• In general, people should move away from disk drives, except for large volume
storage
• The M.2 drives are very high performance and low price and should be the first
choice for performance from a single drive
•RAID 0 qty 4 SSDs or 3 SSDs are a very high performance options
•For those that need the fastest storage solution Intel Fultondale PCIe SSD leads
and is the fastest storage solution tested
• Multiple alternatives exists for PCIe storage and RAID combinations to improve
performance
• Two SSDs in RAID 0 are slightly faster than one M.2 PCIe storage

Optional Performance/Productivity Considerations
Considerations for added CAD/CAE Performance• Load each memory channel with at least 1 DIMM
• P500, P700, P900 - Use FLEX Connector with PCIe Storage device
• Utilize RAID 0, 5 or 10 with P300, P500, P700 or P900
• Maximize simulation and analysis performance with P900 loaded with 3
NVIDA K6000 or Tesla cards, very large memory, RAID, dual 18 core
processors
Considerations for added productivity • 3Dconnexion SpacePilot PRO 3D motion controller for two handed CAD
• Blind interconnect for disk drives (motherboard upgrade) for serviceability

Color Accuracy & Calibration
Color can vary slightly from panel to
panel; from the same batch
Panels change over time, dimmer, color
temperature changes Calibration at the factory is good for only so long
Content creators & designers need
accurate color all the time every time
Routine calibration ensures accuracy
for the life of the panel
