problems with speed need advice on hardware
显示 更早的评论
Hi, i have an i7 and 8gigs ram. All calculations are CPU based. I carry out calculations with huge cell arrays(100x60) that have matrix tables with several rows. My comp takes hours to do the calcation and freezes. My question: how shall i upgrade my pc? Shall i buy more ram, do the calculations on a cuda based graphics card or upgrade my cpu. My budget is around 2000 euros. I want the calculations to be done in seconds.

If you're running low on memory and it's using virtual memory on the disk, you will get a lot of speedup from switching to Solid state drives. For example compiling a program used to take over 4 minutes with my hard drives and how with my SSD it takes about 30 seconds.
You could also get more RAM. I have 32 GB and an i7 CPU.
You might also want to look into GPU computing, which requires the Parallel Computing Toolbox - there's a MATLAB webinar on GPU computing you can probably find.
A 100 by 60 array is not huge. What is inside each cell? If it's just a matrix with "several rows", then that's not big at all. Unless "several" means like a million or so - then that would be getting up there.

Is this the webinar you were referring to?

Zack, yeah probably. Thanks. AA - I have no recommendations I can make on video cards. Just get the best one you can afford. I'm not that familiar with different brands and models because they change so often.

I would start by putting more ram in that bad boy. I bet the program crashes once that available ram is full.

I'm not sure about the cuda graphics card but for the ram using the big arrays and how much time you want to cut down I would use as much ram as the motherboard allows.
