Computation
This section provides information about managing the computation of your notebooks.
Computation of the currently opened notebook
To manage the computation of the notebook in the opened tab, go to
or open the command palette by pressing Ctrl + Shift + A. You have the following options:Action | Description |
---|---|
Stop computation | Stops all processes on the machine. Most often used when:
|
Start computation | Restarts the machine. This may take some time as it restarts all required processes and installs your custom libraries. |
Reactive mode | Enables live computation. All your code updates are recalculated on the fly, while the unaffected cells are skipped. |
Background computation | Keeps the computation running after the tab is closed. This option allows you to close your notebook at any point without losing your computation progress. |
Manage all running computations
At some point, you may have to stop some of your running computations. The most common reason is reaching the limit of parallel computations. Another reason is saving your resources if they are consumed too intensively after you shared the respective notebook.
Stop any running computation
Click the avatar icon in the upper-right corner of the Home page or editor screen and select Running computations to open the dialog with the list of computations.
To stop a computation, click the Stop button for the respective list item. After that, the computation is removed from the list.
