Processor, RAM, and disk space requirements for Validate server
For system requirements regarding Klocwork analysis tools, go to Processor, RAM, and disk space requirements for Klocwork tools.
Processor and RAM Requirements
Performance is dependent on the size of projects, number of projects, and number of concurrent builds that will be loaded to Validate server.
If you have many large projects (millions of lines of code, such as Android AOSP and Unreal Engine 5), you may need to significantly increase the CPU and memory allocation (for example, 32-64 cores and 128 GB RAM).
| Requirements | CPU | RAM |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum | 4 cores, 1 GHz | 8 GB |
| Recommended | 8 cores, 2 GHz | 32 GB |
Disk space requirements
Disk space requirements for installation
A server installation requires 1 GB to 1.4 GB for installation. Plugins require an additional 700 MB. Additional disk space is required temporarily during installation.
Disk space requirements for data storage
Data includes the source files, configuration files, object files, tables, and the database. The total disk space needed for a single integration-build analysis will be the total of all this data. If you use Klocwork incremental analysis, the object file size and table size is needed only once per project.
Some sample projects to show how size can vary
| Project | Language | Lines of code | Object file size (MB) | Table size (MB) | Database size (MB) | Total size (MB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boost | C/C++ | 140,000 | 393 | 17 | 84 | 1,638 |
| Firefox | C/C++ | 1,600,000 | 2,800 | 606 | 702 | 3,174 |
| Common C++ | C/C++ | 20,000 | 168 | 23 | 45 | 236 |
| Python | C | 214,000 | 114 | 52 | 84 | 143 |
| MySQL | C/C++ | 350,000 | 781 | 133 | 167 | 463 |
