Supported OS Platforms
MIMIC Simulator and MIMIC Virtual Lab
are supported on the following platforms.
NOTE: (1) See platform installation instructions in online documentation
for specific limitations.
NOTE: (2) In addition to 32-bit executables, optionally certain 64-bit
executable platforms are supported (AMD64, and Xeon on Windows,
AMD64 / Solaris, AMD64 and Xeon / Linux) to achieve
higher scalability.
See online documentation for details.
NOTE: (3) We have reports of MIMIC running on other Linux platforms,
such as
Debian,
PuppyLinux,
etc., but there are too many to test. If you have
a Linux platform that is not listed, try MIMIC on it. If it runs fine, let
us know, else we may be able to help you get it configured to run MIMIC.
Recommended platform for 5,000 or more agents -
NextComputing
's NextDimension:
We have tested MIMIC on a NextDimension Pro HD with two dual core AMD Opteron(TM) 2.2 GHz processors and SuSE Linux 10. This configuration performed extremely well for testing, results coming in at 30-50% better than other platforms tested against.
