Requirements
Thremulation Station aims to be as lightweight as possible, in order to deliver on the promise of running a "range on a laptop". In order to achive this, we have to establish some minimum standards.
Hardware Capability
Bottom line: this project should provide a usable range on a relatively modern laptop:
- 4 CPU threads (i5 / i7 proc)
- 8G of memory
- Virtualization support (VTd etc.)
Virtual Resources
The listing of resources allocated to each virtual machine are listed below (note that virtual cpus == threads):
- Elastomic:
- virtual memory =
4G - virtual cpus =
2
- virtual memory =
- Elastomic:
- virtual memory =
2G - virtual cpus =
2
- virtual memory =
- Elastomic:
- virtual memory =
1G - virtual cpus =
1
- virtual memory =
These values are certainly tunable, but this is a good starting point. All details can be found in the Vagrantfile.
Warning
Make sure you know what your doing before changing things in the Vagrantfile. You break it, you buy it ;)
