Okay, that makes sense. So I need enough RAM to fit the task in memory PER CPU though (highly parallel computations). What if I have lookup tables on the disk, how does that calculate into this? BTW, the lookup tables range up to about 20 gigs. I appreciate the help, thanks!

Hello all, I'm trying to spec a new workstation to be used for heavy computational tasks (physics modeling, with experiment runs potentially running into a week or more). I don't really know how to benchmark the runs to figure out if they are more dependent on CPU or RAM, and thus buy the...
