The following information outlines the recommended system requirements to run the Alastri suite of products.. As the hardware required depends on the complexity of the mine and the amount of data, meaningful minimum requirements cannot always be listed. Ultimately the only way to know whether specific hardware will work for a specific mine site is to validate the software's performance during the free trial period. 

  • For large multi-pit mines with raw LIDAR surfaces and block models with 80M blocks the requirements will be at the extreme end.
  • The minimum requirements will only support small mines with a small block model and surfaces with low triangle counts.
  • Please note that as our software develops over time, these requirements may change and hardware upgrades may become necessary.
