Hardware Requirements

Before starting the Document Understanding installation, make sure to check and satisfy all requirements for AI Center standalone for single-node here and for multi-node here.

A GPU is strongly recommended for Document Understanding in one of the following scenarios:

• If you retrain the Document Understanding models (DocumentUnderstanding - the general model, Invoices, Receipts, etc.) on AI Center.
• Training on CPU is 5-7 times slower and model performance degrades compared to training on GPU.
• If you run UiPathDocumentOCR (non-edge version) on AI Center to process more than 2 million pages a year.

• If you do not use a GPU, slow performance may impact the product experience.
