Conclusions:• Overall the systems are comparable
• E32 lags in memory by 8%, S30 better for larger files.
• The S30 is a hair faster
• The systems are about equal in performance. However large files will see an advantage with the S30, and S30 is more expandable.

Memory Sizing
• Enough memory to store your model and application in memory • Typical 8 to 10x saved • Some apps are 16x saved or more
• Avoid relying on storage devices, will be significantly slower
• Model sizes grow – double every 2-3 years
• Minimum in CAD today is 8 GB 16 GB
• ECC improves dependability/ recommended

Google ECC Memory Study
Google ECC Memory Study of 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

“A two-and-a-half year study of DRAM on 10s of thousands Google servers found DIMM error rates are hundreds to thousands of times higher than thought — a mean of 3,751 correctable errors per DIMM per year.”
CE = Correctable ErrorUE= Uncorrectable error
• 8.2% of DIMMS see Correctable Errors• DIMMS get worse with use/age
