Scientific Computation
Molecular dynamics and numerical simulation
Long runs need error-correcting memory, so one flipped bit cannot spoil days of work.

Also common in this work: Intel oneAPI / MKL, Quantum ESPRESSO.
Most important first
What this work needs
1
ECC memory, in the host and on the card
A flipped bit in a four-day run gives a wrong answer nobody notices.
2
Eight memory channels, all populated
Half-filled memory channels quietly halve the speed of the solver.
3
Double-precision throughput, not tensor throughput
Processor codes run in double precision, so AI-style cards do not help.
Where money gets wasted
A consumer platform. One failed multi-day run costs more than ECC memory.

Worth knowing: One large card per machine, since multi-GPU scaling here is solver-specific.
