Note that processor cores generally do not consume memory evenly. During a test generation a single processor core may consume significantly more than 2 GB - at the same time test generation may not always use all available processor cores. Complex models (see section Model Complexity) may require significantly more main memory and/or cores than stated in this recommendation to complete test generation in reasonable time.

Recommendation: In particular when working with hardware configurations lower than the recommended, close other memory intensive applications running on your machine when working with complex models.

Hardware used for test generation is important but not the only component in preventing test generation issues. It is also important that hardware and software bitness are properly matched, and that (in particular advanced) modelling constructs are used as intended in models loaded for test generation.

Recommendation: If your desktop or laptop does not fulfil minimum requirements then try to connect to a remote computation server running on a more powerful 64-bit machine or even a Conformiq Grid Server for test generation from complex models.

For more information on configuration and use of a remote computation server see in Conformiq manual Chapter 3. Testing with Conformiq Creator > How to Configure Conformiq Eclipse Client

> Remote computation server and Chapter 2. Installing Conformiq Creator with Conformiq Transformer > Running Conformiq Computation Server. Note that use of a remote server does not resolve slowness in Workbench performance.

Recommendation: If your desktop or laptop is far below minimum requirements then try to keep Conformiq Creator projects closed which are not actively in use to reduce the memory consumption by the Conformiq Workbench.
