We are currently processing jobs that are over 3000 images from multiple day collections, I would like to know what are the hardware specs you recommend for these large projects and if you have potential times for these type of projects?

Appreciate the help!

Hi Justin,

I would be glad to go over our recommended processing specs. Correlator3D specializes in large data sets as it is GPU powered and optimized, which, significantly reduces memory constraints associated with other photogrammetry engines. Correlator3D balances the use of computer resources to avoid bottlenecks, in most cases, the limiting factor will not be the CPU/GPU, but reading the data from disk. Please consider using an SSD to store your input images and the temporary folder of Correlator3D. Find below our recommended specs:

CPU Intel® Core™ i7-10700K CPU @ 3.80GHz
GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, 4095MB
RAM 32gb
Drive 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive + 6tb of storage Drive

For addtional information on timings please review Correlator3D Processing Example & Distributed processing

Thanks a lot David. Really good information as we are in the process of renewing our machines in the office, I am very happy we don't have to go with a super expensive workstation, we will focus on the GPU and of course the SSD drive.
