Minimum configuration

Bloom Cloud Engine Desktop

to process large scans

Operating System

Microsoft® Windows® 7 SP1 64-bit, Microsoft® Windows® 10 64-bit

CPU Type

Multi-Core Intel® Xeon®, i7 or greater Series processor, or AMD® equivalent. Highest affordable CPU speed rating recommended

Memory

16 GB RAM

  • Usually very large scans with several hundred Gb on disk can be processed with 16Gb, but more memory (32Gb) availability can help in performance
  • Higher memory speeds offer better performance

Disk

SSD strongly recommended.

  • If available, it is better to use NVME instead of SATA3. For large pointcloud processing, it has shown to reduce the processing time in half for some datasets. Example of NVME for reference - Samsung 960 EVO Series - 500GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V6E500BW)
  • If external drive used, it should at least be connected through USB 3.0 with write cache-ing enabled

Video Adapter

Graphics card should support OpenGL. Nvidia Geforce 1050 or equivalent works well.

Minimum Configuration

Bloom Cloud Engine Desktop

using subset of scans

Operating System

Microsoft® Windows® 7 SP1 64-bit, Microsoft® Windows® 10 64-bit

CPU Type

Multi-Core Intel® Xeon®, or i-Series processor or AMD® equivalent 

Memory

8 GB RAM

  • Usually sufficient for a typical data processing
  • Higher memory speeds offer better performance

Disk

SSD is suggested for performance, but not mandatory

If connecting external disk, USB 3.0 should be used with write cache-ing enabled

Video Adapter

Graphics card should support OpenGL. Nvidia Geforce 1050 or equivalent works well, but basic Intel®graphics driver also works
