Hardware requirements

The hardware requirements for your BDD installation depend on the amount of data you will process. Oracle recommends the following minimum requirements:

x86_64 dual-core CPU for Dgraph nodes
x86_64 quad-core CPU for WebLogic Managed Servers, which will run Studio and the Dgraph Gateway

In this guide, the term "x64" refers to any processor compatible with the AMD64/EM64T architecture. You might need to upgrade your hardware, depending on the data you are processing. All run-time code must fit entirely in RAM. Likewise, hard disk capacity must be sufficient based on the size of your data set. Please contact your Oracle representative if you need more information on sizing your hardware.

Note that Oracle recommends turning off hyper-threading for Dgraph nodes. Because of the way the Dgraph works, hyper-threading is actually detrimental to cache performance.
