Folks, We have received some funds for hardware which we will run IDL/ENVI MATLAB, TIMESAT (http://web.nateko.lu.se/timesat/) and Agisoft PhotoScan on. We plan to get: DELL C4130 server with two Xeon E5-2650 processors 2 x NVIDIA K80 cards for GPU enable processing Some SSD-disk (Samsung pro?) Raid-6 with XXX Tbyte disk for storage Will use LINUX/CENTOS. Using this hardware we plan to run time-series analysis of MODIS, SENTINEl-2, LANDSAT data, processing of drone data and standard (but demanding) image processing tasks with big data sets. We expect there will be a lot of reading/writing to disk why we hope the SSD speed up some of these things. I would appreciate some advice form your extensive experience on suitable hardware/software configurations and alternatives. What to use and what NOT to use? Whats important to think of?
