    Members of the FEMM group ...

    I am a new member working on a large, static permanent magnet design
    problem for magnetic resonance. Times to calculate range from 4-6 hours
    at high mesh densities on a 550MHz PIII server with 400Mbytes RAM,
    Windows 2000 Professional. I need to optimize the computational
    efficiency while increasing the mesh densities.

    Does anyone have experience with any of these options? :

    1. Single Pentium IV at high clock speeds.
    2. Dual processor Pentium servers
    3. Clusters under Windows 2000 Advanced Server or
    Datacenter Server, where one might have 8 - 32 processors.

    Under options 2. and 3. would I need to get into the source code to take
    full advantage of either architecture, e.g. libraries specifically
    geared towards multithreading on dual processor and/or clusters? (Early
    indications are to the affirmative.)

    Thanks,

    Greg
