System Requirements for KAS IDE and KAS Simulator
KAS IDE
"Integrated development environment"
An integrated development environment is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software.
IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger and KAS Simulator are compatible with any PC having the minimum following hardware:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Microsoft® Windows® 7 SP1 (32 or 64-bit), Microsoft® Windows® 10 (32 or 64-bit). For optimal performance, please be sure your operating system is fully updated with the latest patches. |
| Processor type | Intel® Pentium® M or equivalent processor at 1.5 GHz or greater. |
| Memory | 1 GB RAM (for 32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (for 64-bit) or greater (which is recommended for complex applications). |
| Storage | 16 GB (for 32-bit) or 20 GB (for 64-bit) of free space on hard disk. |
| Display |
WXGA+ (1440 x 900) or higher-resolution monitor with 24-bit color. See Note #1 below. |
| Connectivity | 1 Ethernet Ethernet is a large, diverse family of frame-based computer networking technologies that operate at many speeds for local area networks (LANs) port, at either 100Mbits/s or 1Gbits/s. See Note #2 below. |
| Web Browser | A modern web browser is required to access the web server and online help. We recommend Microsoft Edge  , Google Chrome  , Mozilla FireFox  , or Internet Explorer (IE9 or later, see Note #3)  . |

- Better results are achieved with OpenGL OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a standard specification defining a cross-language, cross-platform API for writing applications that produce 2D and 3D computer graphics.
The Softscope uses this API to implement graphical manipulations and 3D cards.
- A 100Mb network is required in order to allow the IDE to Runtime In computer science, runtime (or run-time) describes the operation of a computer program, the duration of its execution, from beginning to termination (compare compile time).
Within KAS, runtime also refers to the virtual machine that manage the program written in a computer language while it is running communication to work in all conditions. The AKD WorkBench AutoTuner and Scope both require 100Mb of bandwidth In computer networking, bandwidth often refers to a data rate measured in bits/s, for example, network throughput. The reason for the connection of data rate with the term bandwidth is that the limit to the data rate of a physical communication link is related to its bandwidth in hertz to function properly.
- IE9 should be considered a minimum. Later versions of the browser are more compliant with web standards and afford better performance and compatibility.

- See the topic Connect Remotely for information about the ports used by the KAS IDE which may need to be opened to support connecting from an external network.
