The Hanlon Lab is upgrading its workstations with top-of-the-line CPU, GPU and 34 inch curved monitors. These new workstations are a great addition to the computing capacity of the Hanlon Lab, especially for students. These machines come with **Intel i9-11900 CPU and nVidia GeForce RTX 3070 GPU**. This configuration is perfect for developing machine learning projects. Due to the current supply chain delay, this is a developer's dream—**not many researchers have access to 30 of these machines in one room**. The computers have already been deployed in the lab, and the monitors will be available in the Spring 2022 semester. For more information, please email us at fscadmin@stevens.edu.

Here are the important specs of the new workstations:

- 11th Generation Intel Core i9-11900, 16 MB Cache, 8 Core, 2.5 GHz to 5.2 GHz
- Precision 3650 Tower with 1000W up to 90% efficient (80 Plus Gold) PSU
- Advanced Front I/O, with SD card reader
- 64GB, 2x32GB, DDR4 UDIMM non-ECC memory
- nVidia GeForce RTX 3070, 8GB, 3DP, HDMI
- 1TB PCIe NVMe Class 40 M.2 SSD
- 2TB 7200rpm SATA 3.5" HDD

## Benchmark of RTX3070

The nVidia RTX3070 was benchmarked on the CIFAR-10 dataset which contained 60,000 RGB images with a resolution of 32x32\. A deep convolutional neural network was trained on RTX3070 GPU and on Intel i9-11900 CPU. A graph is plotted below which shows the comparison between GPU and CPU with number of epochs and time it takes.
