Hardware/Operating System Requirements
For additional information on specific platforms and hardware requirements, or for software pricing information, call us or send mail to ora_support@synopsys.com.
Supported CPUs |
Intel and AMD processors supporting SSE2 (such as Intel Core, Intel Atom, AMD Athlon 64, etc.) To get maximum performance from multi-threaded simulations, we recommend 4 to 16 CPU cores. LightTools simulation performance scales well with the number of cores, so a computer with 12 or 16 cores can secure an almost linear increase in performance. If Intel Hyper-Threading Technology is available on your computer, enabling it will further increase multi-threaded simulation performance. |
Supported Microsoft Windows Operating Systems |
Windows XP 32-bit with SP3 |
RAM required |
32-bit Windows: 2 GB minimum. 4 GB or more recommended. |
Disk Space required |
Free disk space on the system drive (i.e., the drive on which the operating system is installed): 10 GB minimum. Large models and complex analyses may require significantly more disk space. If LightTools is installed on a drive other than the system drive, that drive should also have at least 10 GB free disk space. |
Additional Software |
For the LightTools’ SolidWorks Link Module, SolidWorks 2010 or higher is required. |
Display |
Monitor supporting 1280 x 1024 or better resolution recommended. OpenGL compliant graphics card with stable ICD driver support recommended. We recommend that you always use the latest version of the driver for your graphics card.
