Computer System One (CS-1) will be a desktop tower workstation used in a lab environment for the development of Machine Learning (ML) programs, training ML algorithms, and heavy data processing. Because of this, CS-1 will require significant standalone capabilities. The specified design of CS-1 will allow for the required intense data processing and high data throughput and compatibility with CS-2 and 3.
