TAP™ is a Windows application and can run on any supported 64-bit Windows desktop computer (e.g., Win 10 and Win 11) and Windows Server. Note that Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft.
Any modern computer hardware will suffice for running TAP™. Fast data storage drive – whether local hard drive or external hard drive – is the most critical aspect in minimizing study execution time. The fastest available USB-C external drives or, if your elevation data will be stored on the local hard drive, then performance will be improved with a high-speed internal SSD, such as NVMe.
In order to get the best performance out of the latest TAP™ software, it is recommended that computers have at least 16 GB of RAM.
TAP™ will take advantage of multiple processor cores for parallel processing to improve study calculation speed. More processors cores may result in faster calculations.
