Hardware Requirements
Supported pair: Isaac Sim 6.1.0 (v6.1.0) with Isaac Lab 3.0.0
(release/3.0.0 at fdc650c8), built from commits
7c206f75bdadd9e05fc457f19863ca4c3f0cb693 and
fdc650c88dfd86aa158b9a1760b6537fef360555. The pair is recorded in
ADR-0033.
SRB’s declared minimum differs from NVIDIA’s tested baseline; neither is
runtime acceptance evidence.
SRB declared minimum
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| CPU | x86_64 Linux |
| GPU | NVIDIA GPU with RT Cores |
| RAM | 16 GB (32 GB for the simulator; estimates) |
| VRAM | 4 GB for kit-less work; 12 GB for SRB simulator workflows (estimates) |
| Disk Space | 50 GB SSD, plus space for source, assets, and caches |
SRB requires a dedicated NVIDIA GPU with RT Cores; Isaac Sim does not support AMD, Intel, or older NVIDIA GPUs without RT Cores.
Declared platform policy: linux/amd64+nvidia-rtx. This is a source support
declaration, not runtime acceptance evidence. Linux arm64/aarch64 installer
paths remain source-present but unverified and unsupported until their frozen
install, container, Isaac/GPU, and end-to-end execution gates pass.
NVIDIA Isaac Sim 6.1 tested baseline
NVIDIA’s Isaac Sim 6.1 requirements specify this x86_64 baseline:
| Component | NVIDIA tested baseline |
|---|---|
| OS | Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 |
| CPU | 4 cores (Intel Core i7 7th generation or AMD Ryzen 5 minimum) |
| RAM | 32 GB |
| GPU | GeForce RTX 4080 minimum |
| VRAM | 16 GB |
| Storage | 50 GB SSD |
| Linux driver | 595.58.03 |
Isaac Lab training and large sensor scenes need more RAM and VRAM. GPUs without RT Cores, including A100 and H100, are unsupported. NVIDIA limits its optional aarch64 path to DGX Spark (DGX OS 7, driver 580.159.03); SRB support remains blocked on separate install and end-to-end gates.
Software Requirements
SRB requires Linux and an appropriate NVIDIA driver. Other operating systems are not officially supported.
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS (Native Installation) | Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, x86_64 |
| OS (Docker Installation) | Linux (X11 required only for GUI workflows) |
| NVIDIA Driver | Appropriate driver for the installed NVIDIA GPU; see the tested baseline above for NVIDIA’s Isaac Sim 6.1 configuration |
| Python | 3.12.* |
| Isaac Sim | Source VERSION 6.1.0-rc.26, built from commit 7c206f75bdadd9e05fc457f19863ca4c3f0cb693 |
| Isaac Lab | 3.0.0 (release/3.0.0) at fdc650c88dfd86aa158b9a1760b6537fef360555 |
| ROS 2 | Jazzy, installed and sourced separately when ROS workflows are used |
The canonical path builds Isaac Sim from source and installs Isaac Lab into its Python environment. NVIDIA’s NGC image is an optional compatibility lane with different paths, UID, and cache ownership, not a replacement. Native, Docker, and Apptainer results are independent evidence lanes.
