For my M.A.Sc. research I’ve been working with half a terabyte of video data. Here are some screenshots of the machine that’s been doing most of the heavy lifting.
I’ve had this setup for about a year now. It’s running Ubuntu 8.04 and Matlab 64-bit on a quad core 2.33MHz Xeon and 4 x 8GB DDR2 667 modules. My algorithms are databound, hence the fairly low CPU clock rate.
Only one question remains: Will it run Crysis?
