I wonder whether anyone had the chance to run CST MWS on the intel's new woodcrest processor (xeon 5100 series). It is claimed that this processors will improve the perfomance (on CST site)
Well, Woodcrest has huge performance if you use any kind of direct linear solver (>35 GFlops on dual Woodcrest 2.66 system). If you use iteration solver of FDTD, they are usually limited not by processor but on memory speed so there might not be much speed increase. On the other hand, meshing and other stuff might receive some speed-up.
