The bare minimum requirements for running the software are:
- 64bit CPU manufactured on or after 2010
- 20 GB of disk space
- 4 GB RAM
No more than 100-200 images can be processed with the above specifications (the software will run out of memory). Recommended requirements are:
- Latest Generation CPU
- 100 GB of disk space
- 16 GB RAM
The above will allow the processing of a few hundred images with minimal issues. A CPU with more cores will allow for faster processing, while a graphics card (GPU) currently has no impact on performance. For processing more images, add more disk space and RAM linearly to the number of images you need to process.
| Number of images | RAM or RAM + Swap |
|---|---|
| 40 | 4 |
| 250 | 16 |
| 500 | 32 |
| 1500 | 64 |
| 2500 | 128 |
| 3500 | 192 |
| 5000 | 256 |
