Enhanced Compute Resources (Engine Tier 1)
All about enhanced compute resources
What is it?
We have introduced the ability to run scenarios using an engine with increased compute resources. This can be useful in situations where the default resource allocation is not sufficient to successfully execute a scenario.
Why is it needed?
By default, scenarios run in the standard environment (Default), which is suitable for most use cases.
However, in certain cases, the following issue may occur:
Your scenario lacks sufficient resources, particularly RAM.
Using Engine Tier 1 allows such scenarios to run in an environment with extended resources.
How does it work?
When launching a scenario, you can specify the engine_type parameter to select the desired configuration:
- Default — the standard engine (used by default)
- Engine tier 1 — an engine with increased compute resources
How much does it cost?
Using Engine Tier 1 is billed separately.
Engine Tier 1 doubles the cost of scenario execution. In other words, running a scenario with Engine Tier 1 will cost twice as much as running it in Default mode.
This is because the system allocates additional infrastructure resources to support these executions.
When should I use Engine Tier 1?
We recommend using Engine Tier 1 if:
- your scenario is unstable in the default environment;
- you are seeing errors related to resource limitations (e.g., Out of Memory);
- you know that your scenario requires more RAM or CPU than usual;
- you are willing to pay for increased resource consumption.
Frequently Asked Questions
➡️ What kind of resources are allocated for Engine Tier 1?
We do not disclose specific technical parameters, as configurations may change. The main goal is to ensure the successful execution of scenarios that exceed standard resource limits.
➡️ Can I select the engine type per scenario?
Yes. You can choose the engine mode for each scenario by setting the appropriate value in the engine_type parameter.
Troubleshooting
If your scenario fails with an error message such as:
Scenario execution needs more CPU/RAM resources. Try switching Memory and CPU Limits to Tier-1.
try re-running it with Engine Tier 1.
In most cases, these errors are caused by resource exhaustion (for example, memory or CPU limits). Switching to an engine with extended resources usually resolves the problem.
⚠️ Engine Tier 1 increases all available resources except the 32 MB file size limit, which remains unchanged. If you need to work with larger files, we recommend providing them via shareable URLs (e.g. file exchange services) instead of direct upload.
