The most important question is whether you want to maximize per
simulation or aggregate ns/day. What you list is certainly a decent
configuration, but unless you want to maximize the single sim
performance, you could consider single-socket boxes. Xeons are "a bit"
expensive ($2.6 list price for a single E5-2697v3!), so you'll likely
get 1.5-2x more aggregate throughput for the same money if you use
single-socket machines (e.g. i7 5930K).
