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
