Processors
Minimum: Any Intel or AMD x86-64 processor
Recommended: Any Intel or AMD x86-64 processor with four logical cores and AVX2 instruction set support
Disk
Minimum: 3 GB of HDD space for MATLAB only, 5-8 GB for a typical installation
Recommended: An SSD is recommended
A full installation of all MathWorks products may take up to 28 GB of disk space
RAM
Minimum: 4 GB
Recommended: 8 GB
For Polyspace, 4 GB per core is recommended
Graphics
No specific graphics card is required.
Hardware accelerated graphics card supporting OpenGL 3.3 with 1GB GPU memory is recommended.
Use of vendor-supplied proprietary drivers is strongly recommended.
GPU acceleration using the Parallel Computing Toolbox requires a GPU that supports CUDA 3 or newer. See Wikipedia to determine what version of CUDA your GPU supports.
Running MATLAB and Simulink on Linux
MATLAB and Simulink have been validated on the Linux distributions listed on this page. It is likely that other distributions with Linux kernel version 2.6 or later and glibc version 2.12 or later can successfully run MATLAB and Simulink, but technical support will be limited.
MATLAB and Simulink are validated on standard installations of the distributions listed on this page. “Minimal” or “core” installations of Linux may lack the necessary software packages required to install and run MATLAB and Simulink. You can likely add required software packages to a minimal Linux installation, but technical support will be limited.
MathWorks follows the vendors’ lifecycle guidance to determine which minor versions of each distribution are validated. Refer the vendors’ websites for more information.
