Issue
How to calculate memory needed for PCT.
Product Line
EcoStruxure Building Operation
Environment
Project Configuration Tool.
Cause
Unclear memory usage in PCT.
Resolution
- The specifications show that the PCT default memory is 8 GB in Hyper-V. Each running PCT server takes 2 GB and 170 MB per running server. A 4-core CPU can run up to approximately 100 servers and an 8-core CPU can run up to approximately 200 servers.
- Memory Usage calculation example:
For 23 servers, i.e. 23*0.170 GB + 2 GB = 6 GB
For 36 servers, i.e. 36*0.170 GB+ 2 GB = 8 GB (default)
For 47 servers, i.e. 47*0.170 GB+ 2 GB = 10 GB
To start 100 servers, 100*0.170 GB+ 2 GB = 19GB
