S4869 - Configuring WorkstationPerformance to the Max!Scott HamiltonDon MaynardVertical Market Strategist – DellSr. Product Manager - Dell
Requirements - The Professional UserMaking the right system configuration choices Project demands and schedules are not getting any simpler Applications need to help users keep up with that demand But equally important is the hardware they run on Quality and stability are key to eliminate downtime World class performance to meet today’s challenges Many products are developed for workstation hardware2Precision Product Group
Requirements - Return on Investment Average Salary 81,600 Full loaded cost approximately 120,000 10 % gain in productivity 12,000 / yearsavingsSalary Survey: Fighting Flat Salaries with Effective Training3Precision Product Group
Requirements - The Economic Value of Rapid ResponseTime What is it?Productivity vs. Response Time– Sub second response time dramatic increase in productivity– Train of thought - “in the flow”450400 Benefits––––––Substantial cost savingsImproved individual productivityShortened project schedulesFaster time to marketLess physical prototypes and testingIncreased product qualityThe Economic Value of Rapid Response TimeBy Walter J. Doherty and Ahrvind J. Thadani - IBM4productivity3503002502001501000123response timePrecision Product Group4
Requirements - Workstation Design Powerful system level performance for processing and increasedmultitasking Optimal performance when running both single and multi-threadedapplications System dependability and stability (longer life cycles, 3yr support) Unlocking the potential of professional grade 2D & 3D graphics – OpenGL,Direct X, GPGPU Professional grade application certification is key to performance andpeace of mind Outstanding storage performance and availability Fast problem resolution thanks to trained technical support with ProSupport5Precision Product Group
Workload: Workstation application usage archetypesChoosing the right CPU(s) is important Workstation application usages typically fall into one of two categories:InteractiveHeavy user interactionLittle user interactionModeling, manipulation, editing, annotating, etc.Set up a model, load a data set, press a buttonand go get coffeePerformance typically scales with CPUfrequency and/or GPU class6ComputationalPerformance typically scales with CPU corecount, frequency, cache, memoryGPGPUs for certain highly parallel appsPrecision Product Group
