System Requirements
Zene can be installed on various platforms such as desktop, laptop, NVIDIA Jetson, and Raspberry Pi, on Linux and Windows operating systems. Below are the system requirements for each platform.
Desktop/Laptop
To run Zene on desktop or laptop, the system's CPU must be x86-64 (amd64, x64) architecture.
Hardware Requirements
Minimum for GPU Mode
The GPU mode uses the supported NVIDIA GPU to accelerate the AI model and vision related tasks. The GPU mode is recommended for cases where the user need to run large AI model(s) or near real-time application.
| Hardware | Requirement |
|---|---|
| CPU | 1 GHz with 2 cores on a 64-bit processor |
| RAM | 2 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA GPU (Compute Capability 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.6, 8.7, 8.9, 9.0) more information |
| VRAM | 4 GB |
| Available Storage Space | 10 GB |
Zene only supports NVIDIA GPU for hardware acceleration. AMD GPU and Intel GPU are currently not supported.
The higher amount of VRAM allows the user to run a larger AI model or more number of models at the same time. 8GB of VRAM is recommended.
Minimum for CPU mode
| Hardware | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Processor | 1 GHz with 2 cores on a 64-bit processor |
| RAM | 2 GB |
| Available Storage Space | 10 GB |
Zene utilised CPU concurrency to run multiple tasks at the same time during the flow run. The higher number of CPU cores reduces the change of CPU bottleneck. 8 CPU cores is recommended.
