Hardware requirements

Processors used for detectors operation

Hardware The hardware requirements for the neural analytics (see see General information on Neural Analyticsneural analytics) are the following:

    Some
  1. Because of specific features of NVIDIA SDK

  2. specific features allow the
  3. , neural analytics

  4. to

    For neural analytics operation, you may use CPU, GPU NVIDIA, VPU (Intel NCSIntel HDDL).

  5. can work

  6. only on Windows Server 2019 or Windows 10. 
  7. on GPU only in the operating systems specified in Operating system requirements

  8. Note
    titleAttention!
    • To connect Intel NCS, insert the device into a USB port and make sure that it is recognized by Windows OS as a USB device with one of the following names: Movidius, Myriad X, or VSC Loopback Device. You can use Intel NCS
  9. may be used with any PC
    • We
  10. do not
    • don't recommend using more than one Intel NCS device per Server.
  11. You can use several Intel HDDL devices on the Server if they have the same revisions.
  12. For Intel HDDL to work correctly with AMD processors, pre-install the OpenVINO™ toolkit version 2019.3.379 (see docs.openvino.ai).
    • Neural analytics can work on the following devices: CPU, Nvidia GPU, VPU (Intel NCS).
  13. If CPU or Intel GPU is used to run analytics, the following requirements must

  37. see 

We recommend using AxxonSoft Platform Calculator (see AxxonSoft Platform Calculator documentation) to calculate the required video memory for detectors that use neural networks (see General information on neural analytics).

You can use multiple graphics When using a video card, a single neural network requires 500 MB of video memory, except for the neural network for face detection (see Hardware requirements for face detection) and license plate recognition (RR) (see Hardware requirements for License plate recognition (RR)). For example: a neural fire detection tool and a neural smoke detection tool, both with unlimited number of channels, require a 1 GB graphics card or higher. You can use multiple video cards in your system.

Note
titleAttention!

For the correct operation of each detection tool, video image should match a specified detector, a set of requirements must be met for:

  • hardware platform for detector operation,
  • video stream and scene,
  • images.

The requirements for each detection tool detector are specific and listed in the corresponding sections (see Configuring detection toolssee Detectors).
