# Processing Requirements

Processing PBR textures with Marso Measure usually requires a desktop workstation, with a GPU available.

### Scratch Directory

Marso Measure makes use of a “Scratch Directory”, where intermediary files are written during processing, and will be deleted once no longer needed. The size of these files depends on the output texture resolution.

Faster R/W speeds on the scratch directory will greatly improve processing times, so it is recommended to use an internal SSD for the scratch directory. Results can be written to a different drive such as a network share.
