System Requirements

Supported Hardware

NBA can run on most Intel servers with supported NICs, but we recommend Sandy Bridge or newer generations of Intel CPUs since integrated memory controller and integrated PCIe controller is a important performance booster.

For GPU acceleration, the current version only supports NVIDIA CUDA GPUs, either desktop class (GeForce) or server class (Tesla) models.

BIOS Settings

• If available, turn off Intel EIST technology in BIOS.
• You need to fix the clock speed of individual CPU cores on Haswell systems (Xeon E5-XXXXv3) for accurate timing control and performance measurements.
