System Requirements for GeoDict

GeoDict can be used on a wide variety of hardware and operating system configurations, from mobile workstations or shared memory workstations to high-performance computing clusters.

Software Recommendations

Operating systems

Math2Market GmbH guarantees that the current GeoDict release is always compatible with the following operating systems:

  • Microsoft® Windows 10 (64 bit) or 11 for Current Business Branch (CBB)
    More about Ready-for-Windows promise
  • Linux (64 bit) glibc 2.17 (e.g. Red Hat 7)
    The best performance is achieved by GeoDict's high-performance version for 64-bit Linux-parallel computers.

Hardware Recommendations

CPU

Recommended:   64-bit Intel® or AMD® Multi-Core (32 cores) processor

The use on multi-core systems with a lot of main memory enables efficient modelling and simulation of extremely large and therefore relevant morphologies.
Whether on single workstations with multi-core processors or over distributed computer systems with the Message Passing Interface (MPI) - you benefit from the scalability of GeoDict.

Graphics hardware

Recommended:   Recent NVIDIA Graphics Card with 8 GB VRAM

The graphical user interface (GUI) of GeoDict requires a graphics card and an operating system that supports OpenGL 2.0 or newer. A graphics card from NVIDIA® with Cuda® Cores is needed for the following functionalities:

RAM

Recommended:   32 GB RAM or more

The available RAM determines the size of the largest structures handled by GeoDict's solvers.

Disk space

Required:   5 GB for the GeoDict installation
Recommended:   At least 1 TB for the storage of simulation results

GeoDict itself requires about 5 GB of disk space.

More memory is needed to perform large experiments, such as filter life time experiments with FilterDict, and to store many results from different experiments.

Recommended Workstation Configurations

GeoDict workstations are shipped with all required equipment, including external accessories needed for easy, safe, and reliable operation.

All three GeoDict systems include software maintenance (updates and support) for one year. For perpetual licenses, the maintenance period may be prolonged for an additional year after the initial period. For leased licenses, the lease period is identical with the maintenance period. During the maintenance period, the user is also entitled to participate in the yearly GeoDict User Meeting without registration fee cost.

The maintenance includes the lease of a GeoDict viewerlicense. This viewer-license enables the user to open, view, and inspect GeoDict simulation results on an additional computer during the maintenance period.

We recommend to order user training for an optimal launch of GeoDict and its fast integration in current workflows.
