We are an R&D group developing sensors for conductivity measurement in aquatic solutions and are modelling electrodynamics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics systems. Our goal is prototyping by simulations before we go to the hardware iteration steps. Up to now FlexPDE supports our needs ideally because we are free to define the structure of our models without limitations to a number of preconfigured "physics". Computing time begins to play an important role of our developing process now. We use quite conventional low-cost PC machines under Windows 2000, Windows XP and 32-bit Linux. Now we plan to invest in hardware to speed up our design cycle. What are the key components for configuring a high-speed machine for the use of FlexPDE? Is there an advantage of 64-bit Linux over 32-bit Windows? Will a 64-bit version of FlexPDE be available in near future and would it be fundamentally faster? Any experience or recommendations would be much appreciated. Regards, Rainer |
