ImSym Hardware/Operating System Requirements
For additional information on specific platforms and hardware requirements, or for software pricing information, call us or send an email to imsym_support@synopsys.com.
Supported CPUs
- Personal computers with an x64 Intel or AMD processor
- ImSym can take advantage of multiple core processors for many operations. To get maximum performance from multi-threaded simulations, we recommend 4 to 16 CPU cores.
Supported Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
RAM required
- 8 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended (or more for extremely large models or large simulations)
Disk Space required
- Free disk space as listed:
- 210 MB ImSym only
- 1353 MB total including Synopsys Common Licensing and Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables
- Free disk space on the system drive (i.e., the drive on which the operating system is installed): 10 GB minimum. If ImSym is installed on a drive other than the system drive, that drive should also have at least 10 GB free disk space. Large models and complex analyses may require significantly more disk space.
Display
- The recommended screen resolution for ImSym is 1920 x 1080 with 100% scaling.
- An OpenGL compliant graphics card with stable ICD driver support is recommended. We recommend that you always use the latest version of the driver for your graphics card.
