ImSym Hardware/Operating System Requirements

For additional information on specific platforms and hardware requirements, or for software pricing information, call us or send an email to imsym_support@synopsys.com.

Supported CPUs

• Personal computers with an x64 Intel or AMD processor 
• ImSym can take advantage of multiple core processors for many operations. To get maximum performance from multi-threaded simulations, we recommend 4 to 16 CPU cores.

Supported Microsoft Windows Operating Systems         

• Windows 10 or Windows 11

RAM required

• 8 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended (or more for extremely large models or large simulations)

Disk Space required

• Free disk space as listed:
  • 210 MB ImSym only
  • 1353 MB total including Synopsys Common Licensing and Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables
  • Free disk space on the system drive (i.e., the drive on which the operating system is installed): 10 GB minimum. If ImSym is installed on a drive other than the system drive, that drive should also have at least 10 GB free disk space. Large models and complex analyses may require significantly more disk space. 

Display

• The recommended screen resolution for ImSym is 1920 x 1080 with 100% scaling.
• An OpenGL compliant graphics card with stable ICD driver support is recommended. We recommend that you always use the latest version of the driver for your graphics card.
