[OpenSPIM] computer configuration

[Thomas Pujol]

Hello dear light sheet enthousiaste.

An email to fish advices regarding computer configuration.

I convince my boss that we need a super duper computer to process the spim
data that we are producing and I want to know if the configuration advice
by the open spim website is up to date(description below) or if I
should/could aim for even bigger machine. Online, I also found the HP Z840
that can accomodate a tremendous amount of ram, any recommandation?

We have to choose between buying a work station with massive a amount ram
or our private node on the institute cluster, does anyone has advice or
feedback on previous expererience ?

thank you and may the light sheet be with you

cheers
