I was wondering which PC configuration is the best for: Running ISE Running Modelsim Running Synplify Premier
Just to simulate and synthesize / place and route complex Xilinx FPGA's like the V4 FX100's.
Would it be Intel or AMD? Would it be 32bits or 64 bit? MultiCore? HyperThreating? Would 4GB be enough? Dual Channel Memory I guess? Linux or Windows? Which filesystem? Other things that make sense?
It would be nice just having a list of FPGA CAE Tools benchmark results of some nice servers/workstations. It is available?
