Hi out here!
We are thinking of using a single Workstation with two dual core CPU's (ergo totally 4 processors) for CFD Simulation. The software does not support more than one CPU/host, but supports clustering with MPI (message passing interface).
Would it be a useful configuration to use VMware Server (or an other product) to have 4 hosts running within that system, - and to allocate exactly one processor/host?
MPI suffers on bad network connection; So sharing network virtually should also be much faster?
What hardware would be most reasonable at the moment?
