All Heuristima software products can run on almost any Intel-based x86 and successive Pentium generation processors, beginning with a 386 SX 16 MHz and ranging up to and beyond Pentium IV, as well as Advanced Micro Devices K5, K6-x and Athlon family of processors. The minimum hardware configuration for a 1-user desktop application is:
The final hardware configuration is largely dependent on the total number of shop work orders and their cumulative number of operations. For example a shop with 3000 shop work orders and 40,000 schedulable operations will probably want a 100 MHz Pentium (P1) or higher with at least 16 MB RAM.
Computer Performance Benchmark An existing PROSPAC customer having a moderate size shop with 348 machines, including principle outside process suppliers, 3500 shop work orders, and 44,000 schedulable operations generates optimal schedules 6 months into the future, in 42 seconds with a 128 MB RAM, 350 MHz Pentium II. Short range schedules, those reaching out only about two 2 weeks into the future, generally produce the periodic schedules which are used directly on the shop floor on a daily basis. PROSPAC's scheduling "engine" requires about 5.1 seconds of computer time, using the same computer, to optimally schedule about 5800 operations in this shorter range interval.
