System requirements
This article explores some of the hardware considerations when configuring a system for use with arivis Pro.
Summary
Computers intended for use with arivis Pro should have:
- More CPU cores rather than higher clock speeds
- Lots of fast local storage (preferably with a disk or disk partition dedicated entirely to temporary documents)
- A dedicated GPU is necessary for 3D rendering
- An NVIDIA GPU with 8GB of VRAM is required for Deep Learning applications
- 64 GB of RAM is more than enough for most applications, more is better but favour SSD storage over RAM if working on a budget
Operating system
arivis Pro is a program for Windows 64-bit operating systems. There is no MacOS or Linux version. Please have a look at this article for more information on Installing arivis Pro on Apple hardware. The minimum requirement for support is Windows 10, but Windows 11 is also supported. The software may work partially on earlier versions, but note that these are not supported configurations.
Also, while the low memory requirements of arivis Pro make it theoretically capable of processing large datasets in 32-bit environments, the high cost of maintenance of two separate builds of the software and the relative scarcity of 32-bit systems means we no longer offer a 32-bit version.
