Verdict-as-a-Service

System requirements

Very few resources are required when using Verdict-as-a-Service in the cloud.

CPU: The SHA256 hash of the file to analyse will be calculated. Every CPU core can hash > 150MB/s.
Memory: Not used
Network: If necessary the whole file to analyse will be transferred to the cloud.
Storage: The file to analyse will be read from the storage. No additional storage is needed.

Example of a resource calculation:

Requirements:

Calculation:

of the required CPU cores:
2 cores (1 core per node to run the basic functions) + 8 cores (0,5 cores per parallel analyses, in our example 16) = 10 CPU cores required, distributed between two nodes.
This means 10 CPU cores / 2 nodes = 5 CPU cores per node.
of the required RAM:
10 GB (1 GB per core for the execution of basic functions) + 32 GB (2 GB * per parallel analyses, in our example 16) = 42 GB RAM required, distributed between two nodes.
This means 42 GB RAM / 2 nodes = 21 GB RAM per node.
of the hard disk storage:
Memory per node = 16 Parallel requests * 2 GB largest file = 32 GB Memory per node.
