Hardware requirements for GPU-based video decoding

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

    Some
  1. Take into account the limitations of NVIDIA SDK
  2. specific features allow
  3. . The neural analytics
  4. to work only on Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10. 

    Neural analytics can work on CPU, Nvidia GPU, VPU (Intel NCS, Intel HDDL).

    Note
    titleAttention!
  5. can operate on the GPU only in the operating systems specified in the Operating system requirements page.
  6. 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:
  7. VPU requirements (Intel NCS):
    1. Connect a device to the computer USB port.
    2. Make sure that the Windows system identifies a device as
    1. Movidius, Myriad X, or VSC Loopback Device.
  8. You can use Intel NCS on any computer that meets Axxon One hardware requirements (see Hardware requirements). We do not recommend using
    1. Use it on the computers that meet the Hardware requirements.
    2. Apply no more than one Intel NCS device
  9. per Server.You can use several Intel HDDL devices
    1. on
  10. one Server if they have the same revisions.
  11. For Intel HDDL to work correctly with AMD processors, pre-install the OpenVINO™ toolkit version 2019.3.379 (see docs.openvino.ai).
  12. If CPU or Intel GPU is used to run analytics, the following requirements must be met:

    1. the server.
  13. Supported CPUs:

    6th Generation Intel® Core™ processors and higher.

    Note
    titleAttention!

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

  14. Intel® Xeon® v5 family and Intel® Xeon® v6 family.
  15. Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick.
  16. Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2.
  17. Intel®

    Intel VPU devicesMovidius™ Neural Compute Stick, Neural Compute Stick 2, 
  19. Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPUs
  20. .
  21. OpenVino must support the Intel CPU
  22. Support from the OpenVINO toolkit version that you use (see software.intel.com)
  23. .
  24. CPU must support the AVX2 or AVX512 instruction set (see ark.intel.com).
  25. NVIDIA GeForce 1050 Ti graphics card or higher. Requirements:
  26. At least 2 GB of memory;
  27. CUDA 11.111.4;
  28. Compute Capability 3.58.6.

    Note

  29. 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)
    Video 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
  30. CUDA is compatible with generations of computers with the following architectures: Kepler (partially
    • ), Maxwell, Pascal, Volta, Turing, Ampere, Ada Lovelace (partially)
  31. (see CUDA).
  32. You can check Compute Capability GPU version on the manufacturer's website.
  33. If you use NVIDIA graphics cards, make sure to download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website.

When you use a graphics card, a single neural network requires 500 MB of video memory, except for the neural network for Face Detection (see Hardware requirements for the Face Detection TV and its sub-tools) and License Plate Recognition RR (see Hardware requirements for License Plate Recognition RR and Vehicle 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 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.
