System Requirements
- iarmstrong
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.
Component | Minimum | Standard (Recommended) | Extreme |
|---|---|---|---|
Processor | Intel i5 | Intel i7 | Intel i9 |
Memory (RAM) | 8 GB | 64 GB | 128 GB |
Operating System | Windows 10 x64 | Windows 10 x64 | Windows 10 x64 |
Video Memory (GRAM) | 2 GB | 8 GB | 12 GB |
Monitor | 1920 x 1080 | Dual 1920 x 1080 Maintaining 100% dpi scaling is very strongly recommended - so 4K monitors are only recommended for screen sizes greater than 40". | Triple 1920 x 1080 Maintaining 100% dpi scaling is very strongly recommended - so 4K monitors are only recommended for screen sizes greater than 40". |
Video Connection | HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, VGA - USB not supported | ||
Video Driver | Driver no more than 6 months old (OpenGL 4.6+) | ||
Video Card (GPU) | Dedicated Nvidia or ATI Video card - less than two year old with up-to-date drivers and 6GB dedicated memory. RTX/GTX cards are preferred over Quadro cards. More details see here. | ||
Hard Drive | Solid State Drive with at least 50 GB Free | ||
Power Connection | AC Power - Battery power not supported (plug in the laptop) | ||
Network Connection | Consistent, reliable, high speed (>1 MB/s) connection to the Internet. For Alastri to provide the highest standard of support, transferring large amounts of data, such as block models, laser surface scans, etc. over the Internet will be required. | ||
Software Prerequisites | .NET 4.7.2 Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 C++ Redistributables (https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe) Microsoft Excel | ||
Input Devices | Keyboard and Mouse with a left mouse button, right mouse button, and middle mouse button/scroll wheel | ||
