Hardware Requirements

Number of CPU cores

Each CHARON-AXP emulated CPU requires a corresponding physical core. So the total number of the host CPUs must exceed the number of emulated CPUs since some of the host CPUs must be dedicated to serving CHARON I/O operations and host operating system needs. If several CHARON instances run in parallel, the required number of CPU cores is cumulative.

...

...

The following table lists the minimum and recommended number of CPUs required for each virtual HP Alpha instance (note that each CHARON instance is able to run on 2 CPU cores hosts, but this configuration does not support emulation of all the virtual CPUs):

...

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x, 64bit
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 - 6.10, 64bit
  • Linux Centos 7.x, 64bit
  • VMware ESXi 5.5 and 6.x up to 6.7 (requires a supported Linux operating system on top of a ESXi virtual machine)
Note

If PBXGA graphics card is going to be used the resolution of CHARON host screen must be not less than 1280x1024 to provide an ability to display the graphics monitor emulation properly.


Note

For CentOS, a connection to the internet is required to install the glibc.i686 package which is not included in the Standard distribution DVD. If there's no connection available, please use the "Everything" distribution DVD.
