Operating System
Compatible with Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit).
Performance
The tool is optimized to run smoothly on standard laptops or desktops without requiring a GPU. It uses CPU and disk more heavily than memory, so CPU speed and SSD performance have the biggest impact on speed.
CPU
A quad-core Intel i7 or better is recommended.
- Tested example: Intel i7-7700HQ (2.8 GHz) handled ~200,000 images in 3–4 hours (with 16GB RAM)
- For best results, use a modern 8-core CPU with higher clock speed
Memory (RAM)
The tool is efficient with memory. It uses less than 2GB of RAM during processing.
- Minimum: 8GB system memory
- Recommended: 16GB or more if you run other tools at the same time
Graphics Card (GPU)
No graphics card is required. All processing is done using the CPU.
- GPU acceleration (NVIDIA CUDA, possibly AMD ROCm) may be supported in future versions
Storage
The tool saves progress often and reads from disk during processing. A fast SSD, especially NVMe, will greatly improve both indexing and search times.
Storage Requirements
- SSD is highly recommended; NVMe gives the best performance
- Needs at least 1GB of free disk space for internal data (indexing, summaries, temp files)
- 10GB+ recommended depending on case size
- Your case folder can live on any drive: internal, external SSD, or network share
