Hardware Requirements
--------------------

Hardware mainly involves the following components:

- **CPU**
 
  -It is recommended to use AMD Zen 5 series, Intel Arrow Lake / Diamond Rapids series or newer models;
   
  -To fully utilize the performance potential of PilotOS, it is recommended to use at least a 4-core processor. If installing a virtual machine, allocate accordingly.

- **Memory (DRAM)**

  -Recommended capacity of no less than 64 GB;
  
  -DDR5 is recommended with frequency ≥ 5600 MHz;
  
  -Powerful CPU performance needs to be matched with sufficient memory bandwidth and capacity.

- **Storage**
  
  -Hundreds of GB of disk space are required during installation and operation;
  
  -It is recommended to reserve at least 1 TB of storage capacity for PilotOS.

- **Network Interface Card (NIC)**
  
  -The required bandwidth depends on the workload scale;
  
  -Due to the exponential growth of quantum state space, it is recommended that the NIC bandwidth be at least 10 Gbps;
  
  -To avoid the network becoming a bottleneck for overall computing efficiency.
