Hello community,
I have been doing some tests with the Designer and BigData lately.
It seems that a great amount of RAM can help to increase the processing speed but CPU doesn't.
I have 10 core (20 logic cores), but the CPU usage is always around 10-15% (peaks at 20%). The RAM on the other side takes as much as I allow him to used (set to 105 GB right now).
My two questions are:
1) Is it possible to enable the Designer to make us of more cores?
2) Would a server make use of more cores? (for a single workflow)
(We have server at work, but I don't want to push 1.5B records to the server if it isn't faster)
Thanks in advance
Alex
Solved! Go to Solution.
@grossal ,
RAM and fast local SSD are your best bet. If you joine the beta program (https://betaprogram.alteryx.com) there is a e2 beta that multi-threads.
cheers,

Thanks @MarqueeCrew and @danilang.
I would have loved an option to force it to multi-threading and give the user the chance to decide it.
I have requested access to the Beta on my Partner Account over two month ago, no sign yet. I would love to test it. Especially with my QM background and all the bugs I already found in the 2020.1 it would haven been a good addition, but I guess I have to wait.
Have a great day guys!
