Hardware requirements for neural analytics operation

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

1. Take into account NVIDIA SDK limitations. The neural analytics can operate on the GPU only in the operating systems specified in the Operating system requirements page.
2. VPU requirements (Intel NCS):
   1. Connect a device to the computer USB port.
   2. Make sure that the Windows system determines a device as Movidius, Myriad X, or VSC Loopback Device.
   3. Use it on the computers that meet the Hardware requirements.
   4. Apply no more than one Intel NCS device on the server.
3. Supported CPUs and requirements:
   

   CPU type	Supported generations/models	Key requirements and conditions
   Intel® Core™	6th generation (Skylake) and higher	Support the AVX2 or AVX512 instruction set (see ark.intel.com) We don't guarantee the detector operation on CPUs lower than 6th generation
   Intel® Xeon®	v5 family (Broadwell) and v6 (Skylake)	Support the AVX2 or AVX512 instruction set (see ark.intel.com). CPU compatibility with the used OpenVINO tool version (see software.intel.com)
   Intel VPU devices	Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick, Neural Compute Stick 2, Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPUs	Support from the used OpenVINO tool version (see software.intel.com)

4. Requirements for NVIDIA GPU: 
   

   Parameter	Minimal/recommended requirements
   GPU model	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 and higher
   Memory space	At least 2 GB. For the accurate calculation, we recommend using AxxonSoft Platform Calculator (see AxxonSoft Platform Calculator documentation)
   CUDA version	12.8.1
   Compute Capability	Not lower than 7.5. You can check a version on the page or on the manufacturer's website.
   Supported architectures	Turing, Ampere, Ada Lovelace (partially) In Windows OS, starting from the Detector Pack 3.15.2 version, the Hopper and Blackwell support is added for the following detectors: Neural tracker Neural counter Human pose detector Equipment detector Fire detector Smoke detector Neural classifier Barcode detector Water level detector  Stopped object detector Privacy masking Person-based privacy masking Starting from the Detector Pack 3.15.2 version, Kepler (late), Maxwell, Pascal, Volta are no longer supported
   Drivers	We recommend installing the latest driver version from the official website
   Configuration	You can use several GPUs in one system

   For proper operation, each detector must meet individual specific requirements (see Detectors) to:
   • Hardware,
   • Video stream and scene,
   • Image settings.
