Purchase of workstaion/server for three diemnsion...

  We are writing a fresh proposal for research  funding in the area of particle physics and cosmology. We have to do three dimensional simulation on a lattice of at least 1000X1000X1000 dimensions. Ten to pwoer ten to ten to power twelve lattice points are to be used, so we need huge memory. Please advise us about the configuration of the server/workstation whose cost lies  in the range 10-12-15 lakhs rupees/about 25 to 30 thousand dollors . We have to give budget justifcation in the proposal and write the configuration. Would these SMP machines with octa core with some 8 or 16 processors will do. The programmes that we are running will be a serial programme, we need speed as well as memory for a scalar serial code. Please write the maximum RAM possibel.
