Pre-defined hardware configurations

 

What's new

 

Pre-defined hardware configurations

Now when starting or configuring an environment for a workflow node, users select a hardware configuration from the list of pre-defined configurations with specified CPU, RAM, and GPU resources, instead of configuring resources separately. This simplifies the selection of compute resources and enhances transparency in tracking resource usage across projects.

 

Code editing in workflow nodes

Users can now edit code for the selected workflow node directly in the workflow UI, without the need to switch to VS Code and losing the context. This allows users to implement necessary code changes faster.

 

Text files editing in File Manager

Users can now edit text and code files directly in the File Manager without needing to switch to VS Code and losing the context. This enables users to implement changes more quickly.

 

Extended runtime environment menu in Desk

The context menu for the runtime environment in the Desk was extended to include RAM usage and idle time.

 

Changes to the default timeout for running environment

The default idle timeout for stopping the running environment is reduced from 96 to 12 hours to optimize compute resource usage.
