Advanced Systems (for higher image analysis or demanding lab functions):

  • At this time, the Dell Alienware towers have worked well for GPU oriented (A.I. Deep/Machine Learning) tasks.  You essentially want to configure a Ryzen 5/7 CPU or Intel i7 CPU, and an Nvidia 3000 or 4000 GPU.  The Nvidia GPUs include CUDA support which is often used in Matlab scripting routines and other lab-specific software.  I would advise to avoid AMD GPUs for this reason.
  • Dell Precisions are an option for CPU-based analysis work, however due to the terrible track record we have had with them I would steer labs towards our HPC clusters on campus or just get a roughly equivalent Alienware/Optiplex "Plus"
  • The Dell XPS laptop can be ordered through our consumer rep, this is a great alternative to the Precision in the mobile space.  The presence of a dedicated GPU, better architectural design and thermals, and long-standing track record are all big plusses for the labs.
  • Kingstar is our typical recommended vendor for multi-gpu units if this is needed for Cryo-EM and similar setups
