Dualz Monitoring Platform
Guides / HW reference

Use a simple reference baseline for hardware sizing.

Minimum and recommended specs are shown below, followed by the test numbers we use for reference encoding and decoding. The hardware brand does not matter; the class of machine does.

Performance baseline

Minimum and recommended hardware

These values are intended as a practical baseline for Dualz Monitoring, not a strict brand requirement.

Minimum

Minimum

Good enough for smaller deployments and lighter reference workloads.

Reference tests

Encoding and decoding numbers from our reference models

We have tested both encoding and decoding on the models below. The figures are for indication and planning.

GPU decoding

GPU decoding (AVC – MPEG4)

  • GeForce 1050 Ti 4 GB: 150 Mbps total on GPU decoding
  • Quadro P2200: 150 Mbps total on GPU decoding
CPU decoding

CPU decoding (AVC – MPEG4)

  • 8-Core i9-9900 3.1 GHz: 150 Mbps total in CPU decoding
  • 6C E-2286 4.0 GHz: 150 Mbps total in CPU decoding
  • Xeon Gold 5220R 24C 2.2 GHz: 300 Mbps total in CPU decoding
