Need help putting together Matlab machine
« on: August 26, 2009, 09:01:33 AM »

I am assisting a friend in putting together a 64bit (windows XP or 7) machine dedicated solely for Matlab, and I need advice about investing correctly in hardware, fine tweaking the purchase so as to get the most out of the available budget.
The tasks he has in Matlab are as follows:
Another optional but not obligatory need is:
To present in animation using a spatial coordinate system the evolving in time of the wave function and of particle movement derived from the afore mentioned calculations.
As I understand it there are a number of major players here that I would like to know to which I should give precedence:
Processor speed
Processor L2 cache - How important it is for Matlab vs. core number and vs. speed?
Are there any known processor brands/models known to benchmark well with Matlab?
Motherboard: Would there be any value for 12 GB of RAM for matlab 64bit because if so, I would invest in a motherboard with 6 RAM slots (instead of 4) so I can buy more slots in the future.
Hard disk - How important is it to invest in it for Matlab?
Would a small (32GB) faster (10000 rpm) or Solid state drive HD for the operating system is worth the investment vs. other components?
Or perhaps even a Large fast rpm HD also for the Matlab files too?
How important is HD cache here?
Should I aim at any specific RAID setup?
This machine will not be over clocked.
