For [[SPO600]], remote access to [[SPO600 Servers|Linux systems]] is provided. Howerver, it is strongly recommended that you have access to a personal x86_64 (64-bit AMD/Intel) or ARM64 Linux system. I recommend running the latest release of [http://get.fedoraproject.org Fedora] to match the [[SPO600 Servers|class ARM servers]], and because Fedora has a very up-to-date version of the gcc compiler which supports [[SVE2]]. '''This system may could be set up:'''

* On a computer at your home, if ideally with [[SSH]] access (so you can set up SSH accessconnect to your home system from class)* On a removable USB drive or external disk pack (note: this is not preferred, because you will not be able to use it during class)

(If none of these options are possible for youYou may want to installing virtual machine/emulation/simulation software on this machine, please talk to your professor about available resources within CDOT)in which case a fast/large system is desirable.

You will be installing virtual machine/'''Recommended system configuration (especially if using emulation):'''* Install a 64-bit Linux operating system ([https:/simulation software on this machine, so a fast/large system getfedora.org Fedora] is desirable.recommended)* Minimum 2GB RAM* Minumum 32GB disk space

System requirements'''Initial software to install:'''* x86_64Development tools and libraries (on Fedora: <code>dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"</code>).* Minimum 2GB RAM The qemu-aarch64 emulation tool (Recommendedon Fedora: as much as possible!<code>dnf install qemu-user</code>).* A GUI is optional and may not be required (especially if the system is being accessed remotely).<!-- * Minumum 100GB disk spaceYou may want to consider setting up [[AArch64 QEMU User Space Emulation]]. -->
