Hardware Requirements

Home

The following list of minimum hardware requirements guarantees that a Win32 AIMMS 3 system will be able to run medium-sized AIMMS projects in a reasonably comfortable manner. Note, however, that this may also depend on the number of other applications that are running concurrently with AIMMS.

  • 1.6 Ghz or higher x86 or x64 processor
  • XGA display adapter and monitor
  • 1 Gb RAM
  • 1 Gb free disk space
  • A parallel or USB port (only when the hardware dongle is used)

When you try to run an AIMMS project for larger data sets on a PC (or reduce the amount of installed or available RAM), you may find that the increased memory requirements of running large models give rise to extensive disk swapping. In general, this will have a dramatic effect on the overall performance of both AIMMS and the other applications running concurrently with AIMMS. In such a case you are advised to install sufficiently additional RAM to run all applications comfortably again.
