The CPU & Memory 

SliceOmatic is mostly a graphic interface enabling you to control the segmentation of your images. From time to time it does a few computer intensive tasks, but most of the time it just controls the interface. So you do not need the most powerful computer around to run the program.

 

However, sliceOmatic is a memory hog, so you need a lot of RAM memory. If you plan on segmenting 3D datasets, you will need at least 8Gb of RAM.

 

 

The Graphic Card

SliceOmatic needs a good OpenGL driver and unfortunately most graphic card manufacturers do not have these. We recommend a graphic card with the Nvidia chipset since, to our knowledge, they have the best OpenGL drivers.

 

SliceOmatic does not need a lot of graphic memory, and unless you do 3D reconstructions, you also do not need the most powerful cards.

 

 

Cuda GPU

Some of sliceO's modules can take advantage of a Cuda GPU if your graphic card is Nvidia.  Some other modules only run on Cuda!  So, if you want to use one of these modules, you need an Nvidia graphic card.

 

 

VR headset

Some modules of sliceO work in VR.  But in order to use these, you need a specific headset.  For the time being, sliceO only support the Oculus Rift headset.

 

 

The Operating System

SliceOmatic runs on Windows 64 bits, so you need to use a Microsoft Windows operating system. Any of the Windows using 64 bits should do.
