[DescrShort]
The Contracting Authority requires commodity Computer Systems for training state-of-art Artificial
Intelligence systems based on Neural Network technologies (CNN, GANs, etc).
Three main categories of equipment are sought: (i) personal dual-GPU computers for use by individual
Ph.D. or postdoctoral researchers in a tower case that can be placed on or under the desk; (ii) shared
GPU servers systems which will be used by small teams (3-4 persons) working on a specific project but
sharing a common codebase or sets of experimental data; these can be either rack-mounted, or in a
tower case; a multi-port network interface, is required; (iii) personal single-GPU laptop computers to
be used by individual researches for prototyping code.
