Support Matrix

This document outlines the system requirements, platform compatibility, and known limitations for warpt v0.1.0-alpha.

warpt is a unified command-line tool for hardware discovery, stress testing, and performance monitoring. It provides a vendor-agnostic interface for understanding and validating computational resources across diverse environments.

System Requirements

Requirement Minimum Recommended
Python 3.10 3.11+
OS Linux, macOS, Windows* Linux
RAM 2GB 8GB+ for large stress tests
Storage 5GB SSD for storage tests

*Windows has limited functionality - see Known Limitations

Platform Limitations

Windows
warpt has been tested on Windows; however, we are aware of many restrictions. Please consider warpt v0.1.0-alpha as being unsupported on Windows.

  • CPU/RAM/storage stress tests work
  • No CPU power monitoring (RAPL not available)
  • No real-time CPU temperature/frequency monitoring during stress tests

macOS
macOS support for warpt matches that of Linux, except for the requirement that sudo is needed for certain features.

  • Power monitoring requires sudo access to use warpt monitor
  • Recommend configuring passwordless sudo, or running sudo -v before warpt commands.

Features In Progress

  • warpt benchmark: All benchmarks should be considered in development.
  • warpt check: Health checks not yet implemented.
  • Network bidirectional/point-to-point tests require manual server setup.
