Processor, RAM, and disk space requirements for Klocwork tools
Processor and RAM Requirements
Integration (server build) Analysis Tools
Analysis tool requirements will depend on the size and complexity of your source code and libraries.
If you have projects that contain 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 | 16 cores, 2 GHz | 32 GB |
Continuous Integration Analysis Tools
Since continuous Integration (CI) analysis is designed to analyze smaller portions of your codebase (such as a single commit and dependencies), it may require fewer resources.
If your builds analyze a significant amount of, or all of, your source code per run, you may need to use the recommended requirements.
Desktop Analysis tools and IDE Plug-ins
Since desktop and IDE plug-in analysis is designed to analyze smaller portions of your codebase (such as a small changeset and dependencies), it may require fewer resources.
If your builds analyze a significant amount of, or all of, your source code per run, you may need to use the recommended requirements.
Disk space requirements
Disk space requirements for installation
A server installation requires 1 GB to 1.4 GB for installation. Plug-ins 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 |
