Machine for comprehensive control of experimental measurement

A customer involved in structural engineering research consulted us about a machine for comprehensive control of experimental measurements with a budget of about 100 million yen.
In order to make better proposals, as a result of hearing detailed information from the customer, we have received the following additional information.

・I would like to study the flow characteristics by photographing the flow morphology of the multiphase flow with a high-speed camera.

・I would like you to propose a machine for collecting and analyzing measurement data and processing large amounts of data.

・The software to be used is planned to be Photron's TEMA.

・The amount of data to be handled is large.

・The specs of the machine I am currently using are as follows.

CPU: Core i5
Memory: 8GB
Storage: 256GB

・A machine with the above specifications probably cannot carry out the planned data processing.

 

Based on the content of the hearing above, we proposed the following configuration.

CPU AMD Ryzen9 7950X (4.50GHz 16 cores)
memory 128GB
Storage 1 2TB M.2 SSD
Storage 2 4TB M.2 SSD
video Nvidia RTX A4500
network on board(2.5G x1 10/100/1000Base-T x1) Wi-Fi x1
Housing + power supply Middle tower case + 850W
OS Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
Others 23.8-inch wide LCD display

Photron TEMA's official website doesn't have high operating requirements, so your current machine meets the requirements.

In this proposal, we considered the configuration based on the information on the software side and focused on the performance for actual use.
In particular, since the amount of data to be handled is large, the capacity required for storage is considered to be high, so high-speed NVMe type SSDs are used for both system and data storage.

In addition, although there was no recommended information other than resolution regarding drawing performance, we decided that a certain level of graphic performance was necessary, and installed a video card for middle-class workstations.

In addition, since it is to capture and analyze high-speed camera video, if you use a PCI-Express capture card to import video data, you need to consider installing it separately.In this consultation, a capture card was not included in the requirements, but if you would like a proposal that includes a card, please feel free to contact us.

 

■FAQ

・What is TEMA?
TEMA is motion analysis and image analysis software that provides advanced analysis functions such as powerful tracking algorithms, graph creation, correction filters, numerical conversion, and optical correction.
