Requirements and Recommendations for Running License Poller
Minimum System Requirements
To ensure that License Poller can operate reliably, the following minimum system specifications are required:
- RAM: 4 GB
- CPU: Dual-core processor, 2.2 GHz or faster
Note
Systems with minimum specifications may experience extended polling times and higher memory consumption.
Recommended System Specifications
For optimal performance and efficient resource utilization, the following specifications are recommended:
- RAM: 16 GB
- CPU: Quad-core processor, 2.4 GHz or faster (high single-thread performance recommended)
Performance Benchmark Overview
Benchmark tests were conducted across three test machines with different hardware profiles. Below are the key observations:
| Machine | Specs | Polling Duration (Seconds) | Avg. Peak CPU % | Total Memory Used (Bytes) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Machine A | 4 GB RAM, 2.26 GHz (2 CPUs) | 3420–3960 | 53.07–60.07% | 1.32 MB – 1.85 MB |
| Machine B | 8 GB RAM, 2.35 GHz (2 CPUs) | 3360–3420 | 62.82–71.22% | 0.71 MB – 0.76 MB |
| Machine C | 16 GB RAM, 2.40 GHz (2 CPUs) | 1680–3480 | 82.03–85.83% | 0.54 MB – 2.79 MB |
License Poller Performance by Machine Specification
Detailed Observations
4 GB RAM (Machine A)
- Elapsed Time: 3420 to 3960 seconds depending on number of vendors polled.
- CPU Usage: Averaged around 53–60% peak usage.
- Memory Usage: Higher memory footprint (around 1.3–1.8 MB).
- Behavior: Longest duration, high memory utilization relative to system capacity.
8 GB RAM (Machine B)
- Elapsed Time: Slightly better, 3360–3420 seconds.
- CPU Usage: Averaged higher CPU utilization (62–71%), suggesting better process handling.
- Memory Usage: Reduced memory consumption compared to 4GB machine (0.7 MB range).
- Behavior: Moderate polling speed improvement with more CPU usage, suitable for balanced resource environments.
16 GB RAM (Machine C)
- Elapsed Time: Significantly faster, especially when polling fewer vendors (as low as 1680 seconds).
- CPU Usage: Peak CPU usage higher (82–85% average).
- Memory Usage: Lowest memory usage, even when handling up to five vendors.
- Behavior: Fastest completion time; efficiently handles simultaneous vendor polling.
