By default Conformiq Creator is configured in a “Local Computation Server” configuration, i.e., both the Creator Workbench as well as test generation run on the machine or laptop the user is using. Use of underpowered machines in this configuration may lead to slow Workbench performance, long model loading times, long test generation times, and even the computation server running out of memory during test generation (which leads to the loss of tests generated up to that point). Generally it is the number of processor cores that can speed up test generation whereas addition of memory prevents the available cores to run out of memory.
Recommendation: A good rule of thumb is that the number of GBs should be ideally 4 times than the number of processor cores (e.g., 16 GB for 4 cores). |

Note that “hyper threading” may double the amount of processors visible to software on your machine. Run a test generation once, e.g., on any Example model, and check the Progress Panel view for the message “Allocated <n> Conformiq Computation Slaves” to see the cores available for Conformiq Creator. This number includes both physical and logical processors.
