There are a lot of "critique my rig" posts

I don’t really want to translate every post you make … I suggest posting in English here since that’s what everyone else is doing!

我真的不想要翻译您发表的每篇文章。.我建议在此处以英文发布,因为那是其他人所做的!

I have a 6 core, 12 thread processor. My CPU is the limiting factor. I theoretically can do 9 parallel plots.

I tried to run 8 staggered plots in parallel. Everything ran to a standstill 7 hours in.

Rest of my specs:

  • CPU Intl i7-8700 - (6 core + 12 threads)/2 = 9
  • RAM: (46000 GB)/3400 = ~13.5
  • Temp Space: (4 TB)/256 GB = ~15.6

I don’t think the these numbers reflect what happens when, say, you use up most the space in a nvme/ssd and that causes slowdown.

Well yeah that’s reflecting only the CPU limit. We should be clear about that. I think @Blueoxx said it best above. Three factors to consider:

  1. do I have enough CPU?
  2. do I have enough RAM (this one is IMO easiest)?
  3. do I have enough Disk, both SPACE and BANDWIDTH?

It’s the classic computer performance shell game!! :heart_eyes:
