The software is a niche developed one if that makes sense, it's for a pharmaceutical company, Its chemical similarity testing. Suppose you have a database of a few hundred existing drugs, stored as molecular geometries (electron density patterns). Someone comes up with a new potential drug and wants to know how close the geometry is to anything in the database, you have to translate and rotate the molecule in question (six degrees of freedom) to see what the maximum amount of overlap is possible with a known drug.
Also memory intensive.
I assume due to the amount of cores if the AMD FX-9590 it handles it better.
Since the results take a lot less time on that CPU than it does on the i7-5930K
Sure
