Torch Workstation PC
Torch is one of the foundational machine learning frameworks, widely recognized for introducing many of the computational and architectural ideas that modern libraries like PyTorch have since refined. Originally built for scientific computing and machine learning research, Torch provided a flexible environment for building neural networks and leveraging the full potential of GPU acceleration.
Written primarily in Lua, with performance-critical components in C, Torch offered an approachable yet powerful toolkit for researchers and developers working in areas such as computer vision, natural language processing, and data modeling. Many large-scale technology companies—including Facebook, Google, and Twitter—once used Torch for their AI research and production pipelines before transitioning to newer frameworks.
While active development of the original Torch library has largely ceased, it remains an important reference point in machine learning history, and many legacy systems and academic projects still rely on it for its speed, modularity, and GPU-first design philosophy.

System Recommendations
Torch can be deployed on a wide range of hardware, but for best performance—especially in GPU-accelerated workloads—modern systems should balance high CPU frequency with strong GPU compute capability.
CPU: A modern, high-frequency multi-core processor such as an Intel Core i9, AMD Ryzen 9, or Intel Xeon W is ideal. Torch workloads benefit from good single-thread performance and high memory bandwidth.
GPU: NVIDIA GPUs are strongly recommended, as Torch was designed with CUDA acceleration in mind. RTX and RTX Ada series cards (such as the RTX 4080, 4090, or A6000) deliver outstanding deep learning throughput.
RAM: A minimum of 32GB of RAM is suggested, with 64GB preferred for large models or data sets.
Storage: NVMe SSDs are essential for quick data streaming, caching, and model loading. Adding a secondary SSD or high-speed RAID array is beneficial for large-scale datasets.
