Section 12 Hardware and Operating System
This chapter provides information and guidance that aims to help users choose computer hardware that will suit their modelling needs. TUFLOW Classic and HPC utilise distinctly different solution schemes, and likewise have different requirements with regard to the choice of computer hardware. Descriptions for a number of hardware related commands and options that are specific to HPC are provided in Section 12.7.
Additional material on performance/benchmarking and hardware selection advice can be found on the TUFLOW Wiki:
