The Forecasting Shell Server (FSS) is the server for execution of forecast runs and import tasks. It contains the modelling software and it's operation is controlled by the Master Controller. Hardware requirements- minimum 2 GB RAM
- one CPU core per FSS instance. When available, a FSS will use more than one CPU. This might be an issue when you have multiple FSS on a single machine. You can use a VM or container that limits the CPU usage of a FSS to a single core.
- CPU typically Intel Xeon 2.33 GHz or equivalent
- recommended minimum 2 of Forecasting Shell Servers, add more depending on computational load
Software requirements Low duty / Heavy duty FSS GroupsIt is good practice to categorize workflows on basis of cpu / memory requirements to specialized Forecasting Shell Server Groups. Simple import workflows often require less resources than heavy duty forecast models. Minimum requirements - OS minimum +2 GB RAM + model requirements
- OS minimum +1 CPU per FSS instance + model requirements
- 20 GB free disk space + model requirements
- Windows and linux forecasting shells can be used simultaneously
- operating system: Windows 7 / 8 / 10, Server 2012(R2) / 2016, Linux RedHat / CentOS contains modelling software (incl. licenses), OS usually depend on 3rd party modules and modelling software
