Recommended Hardware
Required HW is linked to a set of technologies (the SPE configuration) and the load that should be processed per day (or during a peak hour). It is highly recommended to run a load test with selected configuration and evaluation licenses before purchasing HW. Here are recommendations for typical configurations:
Speech Platform – Voice Biometrics configuration – 100 hours/day
- CPU: 8 physical cores, typically 1x Intel® Xeon E5-2640 v4
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage: 100 GB (depends on the archive policy), SSD is strongly recommended for better performance over HDD
- Configuration includes: SID4_XL4, GID_XL4, LID_L4, AGE_L4, VAD, SQE
Speech Platform – Transcription System configuration – 100 hours/day
- CPU: 8 physical cores, typically 1x Intel® Xeon E5-2640 v4
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage: 100 GB (depends on the archive policy), SSD is strongly recommended for better performance over HDD
- Configuration includes: STT 6th generation – 2 languages (half load each), KWS 6th generation – 2 languages, LID_L4, VAD, SQE
Speech Platform – Voice Biometrics and Transcription System configuration – 100 hours/day
- CPU: 14 physical cores, typically 1x Intel® Xeon Gold 5120;
- RAM: 32 GB
- Storage: 500 GB (depends on the archive policy), SSD is strongly recommended for better performance over HDD
- Configuration includes: SID4_XL4, GID_XL4, LID_L4, AGE_L4, STT 6th generation – 2 languages (half load each), KWS 6th generation – 2 languages, VAD, SQE
