Hello Alan (and anyone else interested in running spaun),<div><br></div><div>Spaun is a rather hefty beast. It requires at least 24GB of ram to run the model. The latency timings of the ram doesn't matter so much, it would just affect the running speed of the model itself.</div>
<div>Spaun also requires about 2.5 hours of real world time to run 1 second of simulated time. Note that this run time estimate is based on Spaun running on a 8 core (16 hyperthreaded cores) 2.6GHz machine.</div><div><br>

I just tried to test Spaun on my home desktop, 8GB of 7-7-7-20 RAM and my machine was brought to its knees. What are the actual system requirements for the program? My mobo is rated for 16G, and might support 32G due to a BIOS update. However, I'd have to give up some of my latency, the timings I'm looking at are 9-9-9-24 or worse, the ram would cost $250 too.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
