Expected system requirements? #26

Closed JoshSchmucki closed 2 years ago

JoshSchmucki commented 3 years ago

Without a doubt this is a computationally heavy program to run, but what is the expected load during runtime?

I've run a few of the examples (mainly the giraffe) and it seems to be using ~5GB on my GPU. After it upsamples the mesh after the first 1000 iterations, the load seems to go up to ~8+GB, which ends up overloading my GPU. Is this an expected amount of GPU memory to be using?

And in general, what's a good minimum system requirements to run this program? Is it feasible with a powerful enough personal computer or is cloud computing necessary in the end?

Thank you!
