Recommended minimum system requirements
|
||||
#######################################
|
||||
|
||||
|CL-ATTR| can run on very minimal hardware. For example, it can run on a
|
||||
system with a single core CPU, 128MB of memory, and 600MB of disk space.
|
||||
|CL-ATTR| can run on most modern hardware and is capable of running with
|
||||
modest hardware resources. Out of the box |CL| can run on a single CPU core, 1
|
||||
GB RAM, and 2 GB of disk space.
|
||||
|
||||
Different use cases and applications will require different configurations.
|
||||
For general |CL| use, in addition to a supported processor, the recommended
|
||||
minimum requirements include:
|
||||
For use cases requiring minimal resources, |CL| :ref:`tooling <tooling>` can
|
||||
be used to create a highly customized installation that can even run on a
|
||||
system with a 128MB of memory and 600MB of disk space, for example.
|
||||
|
||||
* Processors:
|
||||
|
||||
|CL-ATTR| can run on any Intel® 64bit processors which support UEFI\*
|
||||
and SSE\* v4.1 streaming SIMD\* instructions.
|
||||
Installer requirements
|
||||
**********************
|
||||
|
||||
The following processor families have been verified to run |CL|:
|
||||
The *live desktop* installer requires at least 1 GB of RAM because more
|
||||
resources are required to run in live mode than after |CL| is installed onto
|
||||
persistent storage.
|
||||
|
||||
* 2nd Generation, or later, Intel® Core™ processor family.
|
||||
* Intel® Xeon® Processor E3
|
||||
* Intel® Xeon® Processor E5
|
||||
* Intel® Xeon® Processor E7
|
||||
* Intel® Atom™ processor C2000 product family for servers -- Q3 2013
|
||||
version or later.
|
||||
* Intel® Atom™ processor E3800 series -- Q4 2013 version or later.
|
||||
For hardware with less resources, use the *live server* installer because it
|
||||
has a smaller memory footprint.
|
||||
|
||||
To help determine if a processor is supported, you can run a
|
||||
:ref:`compatibility check<compatibility-check>` or go to
|
||||
http://ark.intel.com and check for these features:
|
||||
See https://clearlinux.org/downloads for more download options.
|
||||
|
||||
* Instruction Set = 64-bit
|
||||
* Instruction Set Extensions = SSSE3
|
||||
* Instruction Set Extensions = SSE 4.1
|
||||
* Instruction Set Extensions = SSE 4.2
|
||||
* Instruction Set Extensions = AES
|
||||
* Instruction Set Extensions = PCLMUL
|
||||
|
||||
* Memory: 4GB RAM
|
||||
System requirements
|
||||
*******************
|
||||
|
||||
* Hard Disk: 20GB HDD
|
||||
|CL| requires an x86 64-bit processor which supports Intel® Streaming SIMD
|
||||
Extensions 4.1 (Intel® SSE 4.1), and it requires a system that supports UEFI\*.
|
||||
|
||||
* Network: Active Internet connection
|
||||
The |CL| installer performs a system compatibility check upon booting. To
|
||||
manually verify system compatibility with |CL|, run the :ref:`compatibility
|
||||
check tool<compatibility-check>` or go to http://ark.intel.com and check for
|
||||
these features:
|
||||
|
||||
* Instruction Set:
|
||||
|
||||
- 64-bit
|
||||
|
||||
* Instruction Set Extensions:
|
||||
|
||||
- Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extension 3 (Intel® SSSE3)
|
||||
- Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.1 (Intel® SSE 4.1)
|
||||
- Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.2 (Intel® SSE 4.2)
|
||||
- Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI)
|
||||
- Carry-less Multiplication (PCLMUL)
|
||||
|
||||
The following processor families have been verified to run |CL|:
|
||||
|
||||
* Intel® Core™ Processor Family (2nd generation or greater)
|
||||
* Intel® Xeon® E3-xxxx processor
|
||||
* Intel® Xeon® E5-xxxx processor
|
||||
* Intel® Xeon® E7-xxxx processor
|
||||
* Intel® Atom® Processors C Series
|
||||
* Intel® Atom® Processors E Series
|
