Processor Requirements

Systems based on IA-32 architecture are supported as target platformson Windows and Linux. Systems based on Intel 64 architectures below are supported both as host and target platforms.

Systems based on Intel 64 architecture:
- Intel Core processor family or higher
- Intel Xeon E5 v5processor families recommended
- Intel Xeon E7 v5processor families recommended
NOTE:It is assumed that the processors listed above are configured into homogeneous clusters.

Disk Space Requirements
12GB of disk space (minimum)on a standard installation. Cluster installations require an additional 4 GB of disk space.
NOTE: During the installation process, the installer may need up to 12 GB of additional temporary disk storage to manage the intermediate installation files.

Operating System Requirements
All components in Intel Parallel Studio XE support these operating systems on an Intel 64 architecture. Individual component tools may also support additional operating systems and architecture configurations. See the release notes for individual components for full details.
- Debian 9.0 / 10
- Fedora 29 / 30
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (the equivalent CentOS versions are supported, but not separately tested)
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 / 15
- Ubuntu 18.04, 19.04, 16.04
- CentOS 7.x
- macOS 10.15, 10.14
- Xcode 10.2
The Intel MPI Library and Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector are supported on Intel Cluster Ready systems and high-performance computing (HPC) versions of the listed versions of Windows Server. These components are not supported on Ubuntu non-long-term support (LTS) systems. Installation on IA-32 hosts is no longer supported by anytools.

Memory Requirements
- 2 GB RAM (minimum)

Additional Software Requirements
Development for a 32-bit target on a 64-bit host may require optional library components (ia32-libs, lib32gcc1, lib32stdc++6, libc6-dev-i386, gcc-multilib, g++-multilib) to be installed from your Linux distribution.
On Microsoft Windows OS, the Intel C/C++ Compiler and Intel Visual Fortran Compiler require a version of Microsoft Visual Studio to be installed. The following versionsare currently supported:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, 2019
- Microsoft Visual Studio Express (only for command line compilation)
On macOS, the Intel C/C++ Compiler and Intel Fortran Compiler require a version of Xcode to be installed. The following versions are currently supported:
- Xcode 9, 10
