We have a new collection of GPU accelerated Molecular Dynamics benchmark packages put together for GROMACS, NAMD 2, and NAMD 3-alpha10. (The benchmark packages will be available to the public soon.) In this post we present results for,
– 3 applications: GROMACS, NAND 2 and NAMD 3alpha10,
– 8 MD simulations,
– 12 different NVIDIA GPUs,
– 96 total results.
What Happened to High End Desktop (HEDT) Processors?
For several years, both AMD and Intel have offered five general categories of CPUs: Mobile, Consumer Desktop, High-End Desktop, Server, and Workstation. Something strange has been happening to the middle segment, though: HEDT processors are disappearing!
Webinar: Choosing the Right Hardware for Your Virtual Production Workflow
With the popularity of virtual production, many people are looking to build computer systems that are optimized for high-end video editing, compositing, and color work. However, the performance requirements of LED walls, green screen virtual sets, and motion capture can vary widely, depending upon the type of hardware being used and the complexity of the environment being built.
In this 45-minute webinar, Kelly will look into the optimal PC hardware for Virtual Production. He will discuss how the CPU, video card, RAM, and other components affect performance for LED Walls, green screens, and motion capture workflows.

Intel Dragon Canyon NUC 12 Extreme – Content Creation Review
Intel’s “Dragon Canyon” NUC 12 Extreme is a highly compact PC that is still capable of hosting high-end hardware like an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, 64GB of RAM, and multiple M.2 NVMe storage drives. However, the form factor does meant that the performance will not be as good as a standard desktop workstation. The question is, how much performance should you expect to lose by going with the ultra-compact Dragon Canyon NUC?

Intel Core i9 12900KS CPU Review Roundup
Intel is expanding their “Core” series lineup with the new top-end Core i9 12900KS. Compared to the 12900K, this new CPU has a slightly higher base and boost frequency, but in exchange requires a bit more power and has a higher price tag. Is it worth investing in this new model, or is it better to stick with the Core i9 12900K or one of AMD’s Ryzen processors?
