System Requirements

Geosoft DAP is a multi-threaded server application that will take maximum advantage of multiple processors and available memory. The more processors and memory on the server, the better the performance will be. The requirements listed below are guidelines. Speed and performance of a DAP server will be dependent on the hardware configuration and the data serving demands of your site.

Corporate DAP Server
