To ensure a high-performance experience, hardware recommendations are categorized based on application complexity and the volume of data processed:
•Category 1: Simple Applications
•Category 2: Advanced Applications
Simple Applications
A simple application typically contains approximately 10 layers and 1,000 features.
Device Type |
Recommendations |
|---|---|
Android |
•Handheld: 6 GB RAM, 6 core processors from the following series: •Qualcomm Snapdragon •Samsung Exynos •Mediatek Dimensity series •Google Tensor Example devices: Google Pixel 6a, Samsung Galaxy A15 phone •Tablet: 6 GB RAM, 6 core processors from the series listed above. Example devices: Samsung Galaxy Tab A9, Lenovo Tab One |
iOS |
Handheld: iPhone 12 or later Tablet: iPad Gen 10 or later |
Advanced Applications
An advanced application typically has high layer and feature counts, large online/offline datasets, or high-volume data sync requirements.
Performance in this category is directly driven by available system memory (RAM). Each additional layer and every cached feature increases the local memory footprint required for rendering and spatial indexing.
For a seamless, high-performance experience, devices must have a minimum of 8 GB of RAM and we recommend 16 GB of RAM.
Memory requirements scale significantly based on the following:
•the number of layers
•total feature count
•complexity of local logic
Efficiency by Design
High-end hardware provides a performance safety net, but it is not a substitute for efficient application design.
To ensure a world-class user experience, all configurations must adhere to the following principles:
1.Simplicity as a Feature: Design applications to be as streamlined as possible. Include only the layers and data essential to the specific field task to reduce memory overhead.
2.Performance Compliance: All configurations must follow the VertiGIS Studio Mobile Performance Guidelines.
Memory Allocation and Platform Behavior
It is important to understand that an app cannot utilize 100% of a device's physical RAM. Each operating system has strict limits to ensure the OS and other background processes remain stable.
Studio Mobile can be installed on a single server with other Studio products that support shared deployment, including Studio Web, Studio Workflow, and Studio Printing.
