Installation Requirements 2. Supported OS 3. List of Main Bugs Fixed Since Last Release 4. Known Issues -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Installation Requirements -------------------------------------------------------------------- - Administrator rights are required during the installation process. - NVIDIA graphics card, with support for OpenGL versions higher than v3.0. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Supported OS -------------------------------------------------------------------- - Windows Server 2012 R2 - Windows 7 64 bit - Windows 8 64 bit - Windows 8.1 64 bit - Windows 10 64 bit Sim4Life V5.0.1 uses Acceleware's Tauranga library version 11.1.13. Please get the latest NVIDIA driver for your hardware from the Acceleware website: https://acceleware.com/fdtd-11.1.13. Please note that only NVIDIA GPUs with CUDA Compute Capability 1.3 or higher are supported by the Sim4Life CUDA solver (e.g., Tesla C10XX). The AXE solver supports only CUDA Compute Capability >= 2.0. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.
