The first need is for you, e.g. red and LIP6; during development there the runs
will be done. I also have access to LIP6 at the moment so I can decide what to
do when closer to the deadline and based on your experiences. For my final
(few) runs I could even go cloud or so.

I do think the main question is if 128GB of memory will be enough; if not we
may need to go for HEDT (threadripper, core-i ... X) or even server
(EPYC/XEON).

placer which I hope will help us a lot
