Computational Machines Available

The size of the data varies from a few MBs to hundreds of GBs, and in order to process and analyze this huge data, one would need the computation power from a small machine to a large workstation. Polly Notebook supports configurations having 2 to 72 GB Ram and 1 to 36 CPU cores. The menu to select a machine configuration will pop up when you create a new notebook or upload a notebook and try to open it for the first time.

Most of the machine configurations are already specified to cover a wide variety of use cases. More machine configuration can also be made available on request (contact us at (polly@elucidata.io))

. The general machine configurations are divided into three broad categories:

  • General purpose: Configurations from 1 to 4 CPU cores and 2 to 16 GB RAM fall under this category. The various configurations are:
Name CPU/Cores RAM
PollyN medium 2 4 GB
PollyN xlarge 4 16 GB
  • Compute Intensive(CI): Configurations from 16 to 36 CPU cores and 32 to 72 GB RAM fall under this category. The various configurations are:
Name CPU/Cores RAM
PollyN CI 4x-large 16 32 GB
PollyN CI 9x-large 36 72 GB
  • Memory-Optimized(MO): Configurations from 4 to 8 CPU cores and 32 to 64 GB RAM fall under this category. The various configurations are:
Name CPU/Cores RAM
PollyN MO x-large 4 32 GB
PollyN MO 2x-large 8 64 GB
PollyN MO 4x-large 16 120GB

Note:

Machines options

Machine options on notebooks are renamed for better categorization. Each polly machine will have the prefix PollyN where N stands for notebooks. In addition, we have added the prefix CI for compute-intensive machines, MO for memory intensive, and GPU for GPU machines
