I need to process 3D stacks of 0.5-1 TB each, derived from light-sheet microscopy of brains (http://mesospim.org). The loading times on our current hardware are excruciatingly slow, and this is limiting our research throughput.
I therefore need to assemble the fastest hardware on earth for this purpose. Note that I do not need to draw a lot of geometry. This is not a virtual reality or gaming project. The bottleneck is pulling out the files from storage and displaying them - think of a huge stack of ultra-high-resolution TIFF files that need to displayed in a rapid succession.
I would be grateful for advice on which kind of hardware would represent the current state-of-the-art for this purpose. My budget is ca. $ 15'000 but could run up to $ 20'000 if justified.
