Here is the memory requirements PDF:

Full system requirements really all depend on what you are looking at modeling/how many pictures you will be taking and how long you feel like waiting

My workstation specs are:

Asrock X99 WS Motherboard
Xeon E5-1650v3 CPU
128GB Crucial DDR4-2133 ECC RAM
2 Tesla Co-Processors
2 GTX-780 Video cards
Samsung 850 Pro SSD Boot Drive
Crucial M4 SSD Working Drives

My company want to invest it on dedicated server for Photoscan. We would like to put upto 256GB RAM. What should be other requirements to have a reasonable server for that.

[dtmcnamara]

For servers like this I like Supermicro units.

Can you please elaborate, Also approximate price?

Hello Ingsayyad,

Generally I can to use double-Xeon system (for 256 GB) based on CPUs with highest possible frequency and 6-8 cores.

As for GPUs it could be 2-3 GeForce GTX 980, for example, or Radeon R9 290x.

Ingsayyad = have send you a PM....

Supermicro are very good, but again it depend on what sort of stuff want to reconstruct =  if more ram, or more GPUs are need...  contact me back on email for further dicussion

This seems to be inline for what I'm looking for.

My university wants to buy a system, to initially process small to medium data sets, but that can be upgraded later.  I've been looking at this motherboard.  What you ya'll think?

Which CPU should I use?

I would find something that uses DDR4 ECC RAM and not DDR3. DDR4 prices are just 10% more than DDR3 right now. If you want something you can buy RAM for now and expand on later then DDR4 will be much cheaper in the future than DDR3.

As for a CPU, the highest clock speed 2011-v3 6 or 8 core Xeon you can afford. Just remember, if your going to do a system with 2 CPUs it has to be a E5-2xxx CPU and not a E5-1xxx model.
