It varies somewhat by tool: memcheck, drd, massif, ... .
In general, most important first: real RAM at least 2.5 times the total memory size
of the processes being monitored at the same time, data+instruction cache as large
as possible (*minimum* 6MB [consumer-grade Intel Core i5]), one real CPU (not
hyperthreaded) per process being monitored at the same time, one real CPU for
OS overhead, and then CPU speed as fast as possible.
