| Fxe Unsupported |
| Platforms marked Untested have not been
tested in any way by Alias, and at time of press are NOT
Qualified. These pages will continue to be updated as new hardware is
qualified. Platforms marked Unsupported indicate that StudioTools cannot operate to our standard of performance, stability or quality and at time of press are NOT Qualified. |
| Important Notes: |
| [1] | Fx4 graphics may be purchased with or without TRAM (texture memory). For optimal performance within StudioTools, it is recommended that only Fx4 graphics with the TRAM option be used. |
| [2] | StudioTools has been qualified for use with the following
configuration of the HP-UX Operating System: |

| Important Notes Regarding Kernel Configuration: |
| Because of large memory and swap requirements, the HP-UX kernel must
be reconfigured for StudioTools to run properly. Without these kernel
settings, StudioTools may return memory and/or swap errors and possibly
crash on large datasets. The following proceedure is documented in both the installation README file on the StudioTools CD and in the printed installation guide. This process is repeated here because of its importance to the normal operation of StudioTools The following is an overview of how to tune your kernel: This process requires root (superuser) privileges and should only be attempted by experienced HP-UX users. If you are currently using this system for any other software, proceed with caution. These settings could introduce instabilities with other programs. If you have any doubts about possible conflicts with other applications, please do not change these settings without first consulting documentation or technical support services for other software makers. To Proceed: (1) example% su (login as root, enter password) (2) example% kmtune (This dumps the current kernel setting to the shell -- keep a copy (as a text file) in case you need to revert any values) NOTE: If running in a normal user window manager session, use xhost + in a terminal run as the normal user: example% xhost + allows another user (root) to run applications on current user's display. This is not needed if running as root from the window manager login. (4) example% sam (start SAM) (5) Select the following icons in SAM: Kernel Configuration-->Configurable Parameters From the Configurable Parameters window, select from the menus: Actions-->Apply Tuned Parameter Set (6) Select the following parameter set: "CAE/ME General Engineering Workstation 64-bit Kernel" and choose [Okay] (7) From the Configurable Parameters window select: Actions-->Process New Kernel (8) When prompted, confirm that you wish to rebuild the kernel and have SAM move the new kernel into place and reboot when completed (default actions) (9) The kernel takes several minutes to rebuild. After the new kernel is moved into place, the system will reboot. |
