Dear all,
I am in the process of building a relatively high-powered computer imaging
workstation for processing microscope-acquired images. I plan on doing a lot
of fast time-scale image acquisition which will result in image stacks of
>9,000 images per stack. I also plan on using the computer for creating 3-D
reconstructions/movies of some of these images. To handle these demands, I
had originally planned on building a computer including:
64GB, DDR3 RDIMM Memory, 1600MHz, ECC (8 x 8GB DIMMs)
Dual Six Core XEON E5-2630, 2.3GHz, 15M, 7.2 GT/s,Turbo
2.5GB NVIDIAR Quadro 5000 graphics card
Windows 7, 64-bit
Based on reading a recent thread, my first question is whether Fiji and/or
Image J will run normally on a set up like this, particularly with a dual
processor setup and >32GB RAM? Secondly, does it make sense to get a single
processor running faster with fewer threads (i.e. a single 8 core Xeon
processor with 3.1GHz, 20M, 8.0 GT/s)? Any insights would be greatly
appreciated!
Best regards,
Zach Freyberg
