Hardware Requirements

  • Minimum 500Mhz processor or better
  • 1 GB of RAM
  • 500 MB of available hard disk space

Notes on Multi-Core Processors

  • Construct can take advantage of all the cores if you increase the number
    of threads it uses.  However, this only makes sense if you are memory
    constrained on the machine.  If you have enough memory it is better to
    run Construct in a single thread and simultaneously run multiple
    replications.  This will give you higher throughput for multireplication
    runs.

    If you are only running a single replication, or you cannot run multiple
    replications simultaneously, then it makes sense to use as many threads
    as there are cores on the machine.  This will make a single run go
    faster, and use more than 25% of the cpu as listed in things such as
    taskmanager.exe.
