Although Spectronaut™ is developed to use as little resources as possible, the calculations made by the software are still quite intensive. Spectronaut was optimized for parallel computation and makes use of all CPU cores assigned in the global settings. Parallel computation is synchronized with disc IO such that running not more than one analysis at the time is optimal in terms of overall computation time needed. We recommend the following setup:
Minimum
Operating System: Windows 7, x64
CPU: Intel ® Core™ CPU, 2.7 GHz (quad-core) or similar
Hard drive: 200 GB free space
Memory: 16 GB
Software: .NET 4.7
Recommended
Operating System: Windows 10 or higher, x64
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770, 3.4 GHz (octa-core) or similar
Hard drive: 500 GB free space, solid state drive (SSD)
Memory: 64 GB or more
Software: .NET 4.7 or higher
You can also estimate the RAM your analysis will need using the following formula:
Where n is the number of precursors in your library and r is the number of DIA runs
