Minimum system requirements
The minimum requirements concern the running of both the MT Edge application and the MT Edge Language Pairs. Actual requirements are proportional to the number of language pairs to be installed and the translation performance desired.
Below are the minimum system requirements for running Machine Translation Edge. Actual requirements will vary significantly based on the language pairs required and the translation performance desired. Contact your SDL account representative for help on proper sizing of deployment needs.
| Minimum system requirements | |
| SDL Machine Translation Edge application | 1 CPU core (2 GHz Intel) 1 GB RAM 4 GB HD |
| Language Pair | 1 to 4 CPU cores 4 GB of RAM 30 GB of HD 2 GB of GPU RAM (for Neural Language Pairs only) |
| SDL Machine Translation Edge Trainer Adaptable Language Pairs | To train Adaptable Language Pairs, a Worker Host running Linux and a GPU with at least 12 GB of GPU RAM available is required. For more details, consult the Technical Requirements for Adaptable Language Pairs. |
- Nvidia GTX1080Ti (commodity, recommended for Proof of Concepts only)
- Nvidia Tesla T4
- Nvidia Tesla M60
- Nvidia Tesla P100
- Nvidia Tesla V100 (requires at least ETS 8.1)
A GPU is required for Neural Language Pairs ONLY. Neural Language Pairs can also run on CPU (consult the Hardware optimization for CPU usage topic).
