Hardware requirements

Dear Ida

Too bad that you couldn't get DEPONS up and running on your old computer. When you buy a new computer, you don't need to get one with a lot of cores, as the processes we simulate in DEPONS are inherently serial: the agents' behaviour at one point in time depends on what happened in the previous point in time, and this is most efficiently handled on a single core. But to run simulations on large landscapes you'll need a computer with a lot of memory (at least 16 GB, but better with ≥32 GB RAM). And a fast processor is also good. A better GPU won't help you.

Good luck with the simulations :-)

Best wishes,
Jacob

Hi Again, a few years later  I was wondering if the above hardware specs still hold or if there is anything you'd add/change today? 

Cheers,
Ida
