On this page you will learn what are the hardware and software requirements to be able to use the MSP Challenge Simulation Platform.
All requirements are based on tests run on hardware available to us (BUas). It might be possible to run on older versions of Windows and on different hardware with lower-strength CPU and/or RAM. However, this has not been tested and is thus not supported.
We are continuously developing and testing the software, and thus will update this page as we learn and support more.
Server Requirements
Hardware
| Operating System | Windows 10 |
|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i7 or comparable |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM |
| Free Space | 50 GB (highly dependent on how you use the server software) |
| Graphics Hardware | Not Necessary |
| Sound Hardware | Not Necessary |
| Networking | Cabled (UTP) or Wireless (WIFI) |
We recommend setting up a local area network using your own (Wifi) router to which your MSP Challenge server and clients connect. This gives you full control and reduces risks of e.g. network congestion or strict network security policies.
Software
The following additional software will be installed when you run the MSP Challenge full platform installer:
- Python 3.8.1
- XAMPP 7.4.1, specifically the Apache2 web server with PHP7 and MySQL (MariaDB 10.4), both of which are subsequently set up as Windows Services
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable
Finally, the full platform installer sets up a task in your Windows Task Scheduler to run every five minutes.
Client Requirements
Hardware
| Operating System | Windows 10 |
|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i5 or comparable |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM |
| Free Space | 1 GB |
| Graphics Hardware | Not Necessary |
| Sound Hardware | Not Necessary |
| Networking | Cabled (UTP) or Wireless (WIFI) |
Software
No additional software is required, only the MSP Challenge client is necessary.
Peripherals
You will need to use a Keyboard and Mouse to navigate the client and server. While it is possible to use a trackpad, the experience will be severely limited by the limitations of such peripheral.
