Compute configuration

Each step needs compute resources to run. The available hardware configurations depend on the selected action. Some actions offer only one configuration, while others offer multiple options to support different performance needs. For example, if your pipeline transforms large 3D models using actions from Pixyz or Blender, you may want to select a configuration with more memory. For smaller models, a lower-memory configuration may help reduce consumption costs. To select a compute configuration for your action, follow these steps:
  1. Select the step in the pipeline builder.
  2. In the Step Parameters tab, select the Resources section.
  3. Select the configuration you want.
The compute resources for an action is now configured.

Timeout

You can set a timeout value in the Resources section. The default value is 5 minutes and the maximum allowed is 1440 minutes. If the step runs longer than the timeout, it fails. This helps manage compute costs and prevent unexpected behavior. To set a timeout value for a step, follow these steps:
  1. In the Step Parameters tab, select the Resources section.
  2. Use the slider to select a value.
The set value is now the maximum amount of time this step can take to complete. The step fails if the limit is reached.
