You have a requirement, now you need a specification, until you can specify the needs accurately it is impossible to design a solution. So now you need to ask questions regarding the algorithms that will be used, what hardware can they be run on, CPUs, GPUs? What size are the datasets? What sort of speed is needed? What constraints are there, such as cost? Etc. As for hardware manufacturers, you might look at Supermicro and Appro, it really depends on your needs.
- big_data 16y agoI totally agree with your point. I am working on this in parallel with the hardware spec because my main financial stakeholder is pushing to create the project budget.
- turbojerry 16y agoIs there any possibility that the project could be split into 2 parts, an R&D part, which you can specify a development machine for and a production part which can be specified separately once you have sufficient data? If not then you could search for mailing lists and newsgroups that deal with the algorithms you are using and ask for advice and some real world data on what other people are using to tackle similar problems. Also you might find relevant data in published papers, try searching ACM, IEEE and Springer.
- big_data 16y agoThat's a really good point, thanks! It may be easier to get funding for the R&D portion as a POC for the overall endeavor. Well worth asking at this point.
