  • x86_64 distribution with a 2.6 Kernel and glibc 2.5
  • Tested on Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy), Fedora Core release 6 (Zod), CentOS release 6.5 (Final), Ubuntu precise (12.04.2 LTS)
  • 2 GHz Intel® Core®2, AMD Athlon 64 or better
  • 1 GB RAM minimum. 4 16 GB of RAM memory is highly recommended
  • 400 MB 1.7 GB available hard disk space for installation
  • 3 button mouse recommended

...

  • Graphics cards that support CUDA platform (Nvidia), running on Windows.
  • Maxwell and Pascal architectures are supported (for reference you can check this link); it could work on Kepler architecture but it could be unstable and the experience won't be good.

...

  • Denoiser is capable of running on CPU or GPU, with NvidiaAMD and Intel hardware graphics cards; it works with CUDA (Nvidia) and also can work using OpenCL either in GPU (Nvidia, AMD or Intel) or CPU.
  • When using GPU, we recommend having a graphics card with at least 2.5GB. This number is actually dependent on frame size, 2.5GB is for 2k pixels square imagery.
  • When using Nvidia CUDA, the drivers should support at least CUDA 7.0
  • When using AMD, the Catalyst driver should be up to date.
  • In the case you get an error message when using CPU about OpenCL ICDs, it will probably be solved by installing one of these packages depending on your graphics card:
  • The Denoiser will first try to use CUDA, if it doesn't find a compatible card, it will fallback to OpenCL GPU (usually with AMD and Intel cards) and then . If the image doesn't fit in the graphics card memory, you can then use OpenCL with CPU .

  • (which will use RAM memory).


Note

Maxwell 4 is compiled for 64-bit ONLY. It requires a 64-bit machine and a 64-bit operating system. Plugins are available only for 64-bit builds of their respective host platforms.
