The desktop workstation has an 18-core Intel Xeon Gold 5220 processor (24.75 MB cache, running at 2.2 GHz), 256 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SATA Class 20 Solid State Drive (SSD). Each compute node of the Hoffman2 cluster has two 18-core Intel Xeon Gold 6140 processors (with 24.75 MB cache, running at 2.3 GHz), 192 GB of RAM and local SSD storage. MATLAB version 9.7.0 (R2019b) was used for the simulations. Compilation of C language routines was carried out using MinGW (on the workstation) and GCC (on the Hoffman2 nodes) software suites.” (Yu and Banerjee, 2022, p. 24) “ASB acknowledges startup support from the Samueli School Of Engineering at UCLA, as well as funding from UCLA’s Council on Research (COR) Faculty Research Grant.
