Hi everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on a new machine to be used process images with APP.
What's 'ideal' and what is 'good' in terms of
- processor,
- no of cores
- RAM
- other?
APP works pretty well on a lot of specs, but it definitely likes to have as many cores as you can throw at it. 😉 Mabula for instance uses a Threadripper system. Intel seems to have a few new CPU's that are competing now with AMD, but at the moment I would still look at AMD.
I have 32 GB of memory, very convenient to both give APP 25 and still have plenty to do other stuff on the machine, so I would go for that.
Besides that, process on a fast M2 SSD, take 2, 1 for the system and 1 for processing of at least 1-2 TB.
GPU-wise it doesn't really matter at the moment as APP is not using the GPU fully yet (that will be in a future version).
@vincent-mod - thanks Vincent, this helps!
