Laser Scanning Workstation

Description

Sgt Survey is a laser scanning workstation, designed around a 28-core Xeon W7-3​4​65X processor and an RTX 5000 ADA 32GB video card.

General System Design

This build is designed around a 28-core Xeon W7-3​4​65X processor and an RTX 5000 ADA 32GB video card.

Software Workload/Customer Need

This customer needed a powerful new 3D laser scanning workstation to handle their growing professional workload that would last a long time.

This build was designed for LIDAR processing and CAD. This build was designed specifically for Leica Register360, Leica Cyclone 3DR, Leica CloudWorx, and Revit.

This build was influenced by our i9 Laser Scanning Workstation and Xeon Extreme Laser Scanning Workstation.

Design Rationale

  • The Xeon W7-3​4​65X gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for lightly-threaded loads, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks. This is recommended for laser scanning when you need more than an i9.
  • Liquid cooling with a 360mm liquid cooler is recommended.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality and 10G networking.
  • While 256GB of memory would have been fine for most of the customer needs, there were some niche projects that would benefit from 512GB. The board supports up to 2TB of RAM.
  • The customer was fine with our recommendation on storage.
  • The customer was fine with our recommendation on GPU, this allows for larger point clouds to be held in VRAM.
  • The overall design of the build meant that a 1500W power supply was recommended.
  • We used our full-tower case to fit the build.
  • We used our highest-end fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.

Customer Review

“Admittedly, I don’t know much about computers. Graphics cards, processing speeds, etc. are not pieces of information that you will find in my brain housing group.

I know (was told) I needed something high speed, with low drag. Something that could process the amount of data I was collecting. Top Flight Computers was recommended and that’s the only place I looked.

Chris at Top Flight made it real simple for me. They knew what I needed, listened to me stumble through my computer lingo like an out of country tourist ordering from a menu and put together a real beast of a machine.

I may not know what’s going on inside it, but I do know that it delivers exactly what I need…and then some!”
