System Requirements for Polyspace Access

Required Software

  • The installation of Polyspace® Access™ components requires Docker version 20.10 or later.

  • Polyspace Access is compatible with Docker Engine on Linux®.

    To install Docker Engine on your machine, click one of these Docker® supported Linux platforms and follow the installation instructions. The installation of Polyspace Access on a Linux platform is recommended.

    Docker Engine is also available on other Linux distributions.. For Docker on SUSE and Red Hat®, see Docker EE on Linux distros.

    Tip

    You can use Kubernetes® to deploy Polyspace Access. For more information, contact MathWorks Technical Support.

  • The configuration of some Polyspace Access services requires the openssl toolkit to generate public and private keys. This toolkit is also required to configure Polyspace Access with HTTPS.

  • To connect Polyspace Access with Polyspace desktop user interfaces over HTTPS, you must use the Java Platform, Standard Edition Development Kit (JDK). You use the JDK to generate a Java Key Store file.

  • Polyspace Access licenses are network named user (NNU) licenses that require a license manager. Polyspace uses the FlexNet® Publisher (FLEXlm®) license manager. See Install License Manager.

Windows Requirements

To install Polyspace Access inside Linux virtual machines on Windows Server® 2016 and 2019, you must:

You must also enable nested virtualization if you run Hyper-V inside of a Hyper-V VM.

The installation of Polyspace Access is not supported on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and WSL2. See Polyspace Access Support on WSL.

Hardware and Other Requirements

  • The minimum hardware configuration that is recommended for Polyspace Access is:

    • 4 cores

    • 32 GB of RAM

    • 500 GB of disk space

    Frequent uploads might affect the performance of Polyspace Access. For instance, if you have a continuous integration process that regularly uploads more than 10 analysis results per hour, consider setting up multiple instances of Polyspace Access. For more information, contact MathWorks Technical Support.

    See also Troubleshoot Issues with Database Connection Limits.

  • Data transfers between the server and client machines require a high speed network connection. A gigabit network connection is recommended.

  • The Polyspace Access Cluster Admin does not support the Internet Explorer® web browser.

  • It is recommended to install Polyspace Access on the local drive of a physical machine.

    • The Polyspace Access database might run less efficiently and stored data might be corrupted if you install on a network drive.

    • The installation of Polyspace Access on a virtual machine might result in up to a 50% overhead during I/O operations.

  • The installation of Polyspace Access inside a Docker container is not recommended. Docker-in-Docker configurations might result in security profile and filesystem storage conflicts.
