Intel Supports One of the World’s Largest Ever Panoramic Images
Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series supports creation of one of the world’s largest panoramic images
Kolor is widely recognized as the leader in image stitching software. To further raise its profile and to showcase the advanced functionality of its Autopano Giga* product, Kolor recently embarked in the Paris-26-gigapixels project. This involves the creation of one of the largest assembled panoramic images in the world. Due to the sheer amount of data processing involved in creating this image, the stitching and rendering processes of this project require ultra-high-performing hardware to run the Autopano software. For this reason, Kolor chose servers based on the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series.
Challenges
• Record-breaking attempt.
Showcase the capabilities of Autopano* Giga software by creating one of the largest stitched panoramic images in the world
• High-performance hardware.
Identify a high-performing, reliable hardware platform capable of processing the huge amounts of data generated by this image creation
Solutions
• Multi-core processors.
Deployed on Intel Server System SR2600UR powered by two Intel Xeon processors 5500 series to run Autopano Giga for rendering and image stitching
• Solid State Drives.
Six Intel Solid State Drives (Intel SSD) replace slower hard disk drive I/O with much faster and more power-efficient NAND flash I/O that suffers fewer mechanical failures.
Impact
• Significant performance.
