Runtime Results

* The unit of all results shown below are in seconds (s)

* MEMORY_LIMIT means the query exceeded the 28 GiB memory limit; TIMEOUT means the query ran for more than two hours without finishing; SKIPPED means the database platform does not support certain features required by the query; POOL LIMIT means the intermediate results generated by the query exceeded the engine-configured memory pool limit; DISK SPILL LIMIT means the engine ran out of disk space while spilling intermediate results; FAILED means the system reported another error.

Memory Results

* The unit of all memory results shown below is megabytes (MB)

* TigerGraph: the sum over the GPEs of each GPE’s peak vertex-accumulator memory for the whole query, from the query profile; not process memory.

* MEMORY_LIMIT means the query exceeded the 28 GiB memory limit; TIMEOUT means the query ran for more than two hours without finishing; SKIPPED means the database platform does not support certain features required by the query; POOL LIMIT means the intermediate results generated by the query exceeded the engine-configured memory pool limit; DISK SPILL LIMIT means the engine ran out of disk space while spilling intermediate results; FAILED means the system reported another error.
