System Requirements

system set up scratch
hardware
  • Dual-processor Workstation (AMD dual Opteron; Intel dual Xeon (2.4GHZ minimum); AGP 8X for legacy systems;
    PCI Express support
  • Any NVIDIA Quadro FX PCI-E graphics accelerator with minimum of 256 MB memory (Note: The only AGP 8X supported products are the NVIDIA Quadro FX4000/4000 SDI)
  • 3 GB Memory (the more, the better!)
  • Fast data-disk subsystem (USCSI 320 or faster recommended; typically configured with 1.4TB or greater)


note 1: Systems may be configured to use central storage on a high-speed network rather than large-capacity local-storage.
note 2: Disk I/O performance is critical to the performance of SCRATCH. We recommend working with our support team to configure a system that's optimized for performance and your workflow environment.
