I cannot remember what processor he was mentioning to you now, I do remember my mouth hanging open when he told me how many core processors it id, I want to say 32?
He was stumped by your ram demands, how did you end up managing it?
He seemed to think that much ram have to be managed in order to be utilized and could not remain static.
I know just enough about this crap to be dangerous so excuse me if I have wrong terminology of if I misspoke here and have my head up my arse.

What Glen is doing is very specialized.
AMD chips, I don't care which they are, do not work as well.
The best CPU for this kind of work is actually an i7 8700.
This is not the type of stuff where raw performance numbers translate to actual real world performance.
nVIdia CUDA 2 GPUS are a must and one would think a $4,000 Tesla V100 would blow away the GTX 1080's he has in there and in nearly every function required it does, exxxcccceeeeptttt for one. The Tesla is a pig at depth map calculations and it's poor performance on that more than erases any gains in the other nodes of the processing pipe. It ends up being slower at 4x's the price.
Like a Top Fuel Rail it will beat everything to the other end of the track, but take it to a track with turns, not gonna do very well.
Thats a very capable rig he has there for what he needs to do.
