System Requirements

• Host Processor: 64-bit AMD64, 64-bit Intel 64 or 32-bit x86 processor-based workstation or server with one or more single core or multi-core microprocessors.
  Accelerator (optional): NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPU with compute capability 2.0 or later. AMD Radeon HD 7700, 7800 and 7900 series, R7 and R9 series GPUs (Cape Verde, Tahiti or Spectre).
• Operating System:
  • CentOS 5.2 or newer, SUSE 9.3 or newer, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 or newer, OpenSUSE 10.2 or newer, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 or newer, Fedora Core 4 or newer or Ubuntu 8.04 or newer. Fully interoperable with versions of Linux using kernel revision 2.6 and glibc 2.3.4 or newer.
  • Apple OS X version 10.7 Lion or newer (64-bit and 32-bit) and Xcode 4.2 or newer. Radeon accelerators are not supported on OS X.
  • Microsoft Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Server 2012, Windows 7, and Server 2008 R2. Both 64-bit and 32-bit versions are supported where available.
  Building 64-bit executables requires a 64-bit operating system.
