Core usage with Analytic App or Alteryx Designer Interface

[cplh]

Hello,

(Very new to Alteryx here so apologies for the noob question!).

I am struggling to fully understand the concept of cores, especially in relation to Analytic Apps or to Alteryx Designer Interface.

Does an Analytic App consume a core?

If I build a UI for an existing workflow using the Alteryx Designer interface tools, and there is a page for the user to input parameters to be picked up by the workflow, would the display of that input page "consume" a core?

Or basically, what is the list of what consumes a core apart from executing a workflow?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @cplh is this the detail you are looking for?

Thanks Samantha, that is very helpful.

Is there a way to know specifically if an Analytic App UI consumes memory? The articles says that lots of tools consume memory, but it would be great to have a list, if that exists...

And also, my understanding is that, when we have 4 cores we can run 4 processes in parallel, and anything extra will be queued. Would displaying a UI count as 1 process? (Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the concept of core?)
