System Requirements

Los Alamos National Laboratory's TRANSIMS software is based on a computationally intensive, agent-based simulation technology requiring significant multi-processor computing hardware.

Programs in the TRANSIMS software suite are distributed applications with components running on different hardware/software platforms. To install and run all of the components of the TRANSIMS suite, the customer must procure and set up the following three types of computer systems:
  1. Unix/Linux server(s) for hosting the core TRANSIMS software, Oracle database, and server-side components of the TRANSIMS Modeling Interface. Customers who wish to execute large-size problems must have procured multiserver Linux computing cluster or an equivalent multiprocessor UNIX-based framework.

  2. Windows workstation(s) for running the Network Editor, the client-side Modeling Interface, and Crystal Reports.

  3. Optional Linux workstation(s) for running the Visualizer. Alternatively, the customer may wish to equip the Linux server with a high-end graphics card and use the server as the Visualizer platform. A version of the output visualizer that operates on the Windows workstation is in development.
