Hardware requirements for GPU-based video decoding

When you use neural analytics (see General information on neural analytics), the hardware requirements are the following:

    Because of specific features
  1. Take into account the limitations of NVIDIA SDK
  2. ,
  3. . The neural analytics can
  4. work
  5. operate on the GPU only in the operating systems specified
  6. in 
  7. in the Operating system requirements page.
  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:
  9. VPU requirements (Intel NCS):
    1. Connect a device to the computer USB port.
    2. Make sure that the Windows system identifies a device as Movidius, Myriad X, or VSC Loopback Device.
  10. You can use Intel NCS on any computer that meets Axxon One hardware requirements (see Hardware requirements). We don't recommend using
    1. Use it on the computers that meet the Hardware requirements.
    2. Apply no more than one Intel NCS device
  11. per
    1. on the server.
  12. 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 be met:

    Supported CPUs:
  14. 6th Generation Intel® Core™ processors and higher.

    Note
    titleAttention!

    When using a CPU lower than 6th Generation Intel® Core™ processors, the operation of the detectors isn't guaranteed.

  15. Intel® Xeon® v5 family and Intel® Xeon® v6 family.
  16. Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick.

  30. Requirements for NVIDIA GPU
    ParameterMinimum/recommended requirements
    GPU model
    • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 and later (for Detector Pack 3.14–3.15.1)
    • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 and later (for Detector Pack 3.15.2 and later)
    Memory spaceAt least 2 GB. For the accurate calculation, we recommend using AxxonSoft Platform Calculator (see AxxonSoft Platform Calculator documentation)
    CUDA version
    • 11.1–11.8 (for Detector Pack 3.14–3.15.1)
    • 12.8.1 (for Detector Pack 3.15.2 and later)
    Compute Capability
    • 6.0–9.0 (for Detector Pack 3.14–3.15.1)
    • 7.512.0 (for Detector Pack 3.15.2 and later)

    You can check the version here or on the manufacturer's website

    Supported architectures
    • Kepler (late
  31. CUDA is compatible with generations of computers with the following architectures: Kepler (partially
    • ), Maxwell, Pascal, Volta, Turing, Ampere, Ada Lovelace (partially) (for Detector Pack 3.14–3.15.1)
  32. (see CUDA).
  33. You can check Compute Capability GPU version on the manufacturer's website.
  34. If you use NVIDIA graphics cards, make sure to download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website.

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 cards in your system.

  1. DriversWe recommend installing the latest driver version from the official website
    ConfigurationYou can use up to four GPUs on one server
  2. For the correct operation, each detector must meet individualspecificrequirements (see Detectors) to:
    • Hardware platform,
    • Video stream and scene,
    • Image characteristics

...

titleAttention!

For the correct operation of each detector, a set of requirements must be met for:

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