FDE: Do we have any numbers on performance?

Question

Hi,

I have a semiconductor customer who have trace lines for 10000 parts on 25 wafers per lot. Each trace line has about 1000-2000 frequency steps measured.  The curves look similar to these: (though this image is from a paper Don and Hadley wrote)

(the binary files with the data are about 500MB-2GB large, so could be huge in RAM).

Thanks,

Martin

Setting aside the issue of needing a ton of memory for a second, that sounds like case for the Direct PCA option in FDE.

But it's going to take a bit to run regardless.  What you're describing is almost like a hyperspectral data set and those take a long time to run - even on purpose built systems with GPU acceleration.
