The In-RAM atoms are about 1.5KBytes each, because they keep indexes to speed graph traversal. viz, all the egdes to walk the graph quickly. The atoms themselves are small, but there's lots of extra bytes used to cache stuff to speed traversal. > What is the typical hardware people run the atomspace on? SSD? RAM?

Since postgres is distributed, you can run the atomspace distributed (see the examples dir, its really really easy). Postgres runs faster on SSD. On my machine, when crunching the language-learning code, which typically touches up to 5-50 million atoms, I found that processing was i/o limited. With SSD disks, postgres runs at approx 80% of the rated SSD performance, and at about 50% of the SATA link speed. (raid-mirror setup) So basically it comes close to maxing out the I/O subsystem and the I/O buses. For smaller datasets, the atomspace does run on a Raspberry PI (just fine, I'm told). It does not run on Android; the main blocker for this is the lack of guile for Android. As of last week, it runs on MacOS. No clue if that means it also runs on iOS. Future Chromebooks will run linux ... so... also windows ... --linas -- cassette tapes - analog TV - film cameras - you -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "opencog" group.
