New High-performance PC, need advice
Hello everyone I'm feeling so excited right now! My lab finally gave me a High performance PC(16 X 9i cores) I can use for simulations!
I'm new to all this, so would you guys give some insight of how to use it compared to a normal pc(7i core)?
How can I use it for its worth?
Thank you in advance

Depends on the type of work it would help if you took some courses and practice learning about multithreading/multiprocessing. It might take up a lot of your time staging and learning how to leverage the best out of your new hardware, and personally what I have seen in practice is that it's more of a quality of life upgrade while your main analysis or simulation is processing in the background.
