Hardware requirement for ATS and Watershed_workflow

[suraj shrestha]

Dear all,

I have been running ATS and watershed workflow on a Windows 11 machine via WSL2 (Ubuntu), but I am getting frequent problems. Among them, my Jupyter Notebook kernel crashes whenever I try to run the workflow for a basin of approximately 1,370 sq.km.

My current workstation specs are:

• CPU: Intel i7-13700 (16 cores)

• RAM: 32 GB (assigned to WSL via .wslconfig)

• Storage: 954 GB SSD

• Graphics: 128 MB

I wanted to verify if this hardware is sufficient for a study area of this size, or if these crashes indicate that I need more RAM or a different system setup. Could anyone help me determine the best workstation configuration to solve these stability issues?

Thank you all

Suraj
