[Qgis-user] Experience in QGIS as App-V installation?

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

In that case, multiple cpu Cores should be used for each machine as rendering uses multiple core by default. I would try with 4 cores.  I would allocate no less than 8 to 16 GB per machine.  Data access speed could be a big issue, specially if they are on a samba type file server.  GPU processing was still experimental in QGIS so direct access to a GPU can probably be left out of the equation unless major changes have been done on this in the latest versions.

QGIS it self is not heavy.  It’s the data that can kill even the best workstations. 

Good luck

Ça va bien aller!

If you want to run QGIS in a virtual machine (I imagine this is the case), you may be able to do this with small project.  For anything big, I believe the requirements of huge dataset and the computational power needed to processes them will find multiple bottle necks in virtual environments.  For an effective GIS, you need lots of memory, multiple cpu cores, ssd speed data access and direct access to a real, unvirtualised GPU.  If you have all that in the virtual environments, It could probably work.
