Compute Profiles allow you to choose the amount of compute resources used to run your Explorer queries. They also enable you to separate query runs by profile for different use cases.
Profile Limit: You can create up to 3 profiles per organization.

​
Profile Sizes

Profile size determines the amount of compute resources used to run your queries, affecting speed and cost. In general, query performance scales with size, so a larger profile can run more complex queries faster.

8x~8x faster8x credits
16x~16x faster16x credits
For example, you could set up a larger compute profile for complex, long-running queries, and a smaller compute profile for simpler, faster queries.

​
Manage Your Compute Profiles

1

Navigate to Compute Settings

Go to Settings → Compute.
2

Add, Resize, or Delete Profiles

In the Compute Profiles section, you can manage your compute profiles:
  • Add Profile - Create a new compute profile with your desired size
  • Resize Profile - Change the size of an existing profile
  • Delete Profile - Remove a profile you no longer need

Run Query with Profile (Allium App)

1

Select Your Query

Go to Explorer Queries and select your query.
2

Choose Compute Profile

Click the Compute Profile dropdown on the top right of the query editor and select the profile you want to use.

3

Run Query

Click Run to execute your query. The selected Compute Profile will be used for this run and saved as the default profile for this query.

​
Run Query with Profile (API)

You can specify the Compute Profile when running queries via the Explorer API. See the Execute Query documentation for details. For this step, be sure to use the identifier of the profile, not the name.

​
Queue Isolation

Each Compute Profile has its own isolated query queue. Monitor the number of queued and running queries for each profile at Settings → Compute.
