A customer involved in research on the blood circulation system asked us for a machine for performing bioinformatics, mainly shotgun metagenomic analysis.The assumed conditions are:
・CPU: Focus on the number of cores |
Based on the contents of the communication, we proposed the following configuration.
【Main Specifications】
CPU | Xeon Gold 6326 (2.90GHz 16 cores) x2 |
memory | 128GB REG ECC |
Storage 1 | 1TB SSD S-ATA |
Storage 2 | 8TB HDD S-ATA |
video | NVIDIA Geforce RTX4070 Ti |
network | On Board (1000Base-T X2) |
Housing + power supply | Tower type housing + 1200W |
OS | Ubuntu 22.04 |
Others | Install CUDA Toolkit 11 Install Bioconda3 |
We are considering a configuration with as many cores as possible within the budget.
Considering the 64-core specification, the price will rise significantly and it will not fit in the budget, so we have reduced the total to 56 cores.
The memory is configured with future expansion in mind, but the original specification is to maximize the memory bandwidth by installing modules in all memory slots, so please note that the memory bandwidth is halved in the proposed state. please give me.
GPU has added one GPU that can be used for AI learning etc.
However, since it is not a GPU dedicated to calculation, please consider it as a necessary and sufficient product for an introductory class rather than for full-scale learning.
Regarding training using GPUs, there are issues such as the price of a single GPU being more than 100 million yen for higher-end products, and that multiple GPUs cannot be used in a general 100V environment.Considering such points, we are selecting GPUs that can be used for AI from the balance of usage and budget this time.
In addition, the memory capacity of the video card is also important when studying image systems, so if your budget allows, I think it would be better to choose an RTX A6000 48GB.
The configuration of this case study is based on the conditions given by the customer.
Please feel free to contact us even if you are considering different conditions from what is posted.
