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

Google Study

“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

• SATA HDD (Serial ATA) – 7500 rpm, 10,000 rpm• SAS HDD (Serial attach SCSI) -- Up to 15,000 rpm

• When 70-80% full, seeks take longer

• SSD - Solid State Disk• Hybrid SATA HDD

• SATA 3.0 (6 Gb/s) vs. SATA 2.6 (3 Gb/s)• Right connections• Hard Disk Drives with enough cache to support• Ideal for new SSD

• RAID 0,1,10 etc.@ThinkStations #SWW14

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.o Only documented repair rates were used in calculations of repair rates.

Lenovo workstations had lower than top vendor 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,• and 36% in the third year.
