can also be used for large assemblies or complex parts which take up large
amounts of virtual memo ry and
Pro/MECHANICA 2000i

is used for complex analysis. The
recommended configuration for these users is the
Compaq Professional Workstation SP750
. The
SP750’s dual architecture provides the best Intel solution for large file sizes, complex analysis or
multiple sessions of Pro/MECHANICA. The suggested configuration includes:
§
866 MHz Intel Pentium III Xeon processor (Shortly to be 1 GHz)
§
2 processor capability (recommended for the next release of Pro/MECHANICA)
§
512MB - 4GB ECC RDRAM ( is recommended)
§
18GB Wide Ultra III SCSI 10,000 rpm hard drive
§

assemblies and most complex
Pro/MECHANICA analyses
CADDS 5i
2
is often used for the largest and most complex assemblies. The recommended
configuration for CADDS 5i
2
is the
Compaq Professional Workstation XP1000 with Tru64 UNIX
.
The XP1000 provides the performance needed for large computations. For customers who want an
Intel-based solution we recommend the previous
AP550
configuration.
Pro/ENGINEER Large Assemblies:
The XP1000 configuration is also recommended for ultra large
Pro/ENGINEER files, or complex analysis with
Pro/MECHANICA
. Large files in Pro/ENGINEER are
usually much larger when brought into main memory from the disk, as they pull in other linked parts
and d ata libraries. Up to 2 Gbytes will fit into memory on a Windows NT Client system, but our
Alpha 64-bit architecture can access much larger files (up to 8 terabytes) and still treat it as a single
file.
The XP1000 has the fastest CPU performance in the ProE Bench99 benchmarks, and is also the
world’s fastest workstation with a SPECint95 rating of 37.5 and a SPECfp95 rating of 65.5. Alpha’s
world record floating point performance delivers the ultimate in Pro/ENGINEER and
Pro/MECHANICA Performance.
The sugges ted configuration includes:
§
Tru64® UNIX™ 4.0E

667 MHz Alpha 21264 (EV6) processor
