• CentOS 6.10, 7.5-7.7
  • For CentOS Server you must install some X11 libraries (sudo yum install fontconfig libX11).
  • Certain backends (FEP+ and PIPER) require the mesa-libGLU library (yum install mesa-libGLU).
• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS
  • For Ubuntu Server, user must also install some X11 libraries (sudo apt-get install fontconfig).
  • Certain backends (FEP+ and PIPER) require the libglu1-mesa library (apt-get install libglu1-mesa).
• SUSE: SLES/SLED 15, SLES/SLED 12 SP4

3D Support

• Supported: Quad-buffered OpenGL hardware stereo via NVIDIA 3D Vision, Interlaced stereo via Zalman 3D Monitors
• See http://www.schrodinger.com/kb/1745 for more complete information

 Graphics Cards to Run Maestro

• Graphics card must support OpenGL 2.1 or greater
• We strongly recommend running Maestro using a discrete graphics card for optimal performance, though some integrated graphics cards show acceptable performance
  • Our software has been tested most robustly against multiple generations of NVidia graphics cards

Please note: Most graphics issues encountered are addressed by updating the graphics card driver. Please follow your hardware maker or OS distribution instructions to update the graphics driver

Please note: The 2019-4 release will be the last one to support Windows 7, which is reaching its end of extended support in January of 2020.  

Only 64-bit platforms are supported.

Desmond and Quantum Espresso are only supported on Linux.

Jaguar cannot be run in parallel under Windows.

Supported

• Windows 7 SP1
• Windows 8.1
• Windows 10

We support English plus internationalized versions of the OS in Spanish, French, German, and Japanese.

Desmond, Watermap, FEP+, Deep AutoQSAR, and GPU Shape

• We support the following NVIDIA Server/HPC solutions:
  • Kepler architecture - Tesla K80
  • Maxwell architecture - Tesla M40, Tesla M60
  • Pascal architecture - Tesla P40, Tesla P100
  • Volta architecture - Tesla V100
  • Turing architecture - Tesla T4
     
• We support the following NVIDIA Workstation solutions:
  • Pascal architecture - Quadro P5000
  • Turing architecture - Quadro RTX 5000

• We support only the Nvidia 'recommended/certified' Linux drivers for these cards.
• Pre-configured Schrödinger compatible GPU boxes for MD and FEP+ are available from Exxact (US).
• Standard support does not cover consumer-level GPU cards such as GeForce GTX cards.*
• Support for the Tesla K20 and Tesla K40 cards is deprecated. While we still expect our GPGPU codes to run the hardware specifications of these cards are no longer sufficient for production usage.

*If you already have another NVIDIA GPGPU and would like to know if we have experience with it, please contact our support at help@schrodinger.com.
