Performance Considerations
Large Datasets
Trial Submission Studio can handle datasets with:
- Hundreds of thousands of rows
- Hundreds of columns
For very large datasets (1M+ rows), consider:
- Ensuring adequate RAM (8GB+)
- Using SSD storage for faster I/O
- Processing data in batches if needed
Memory Usage
Memory usage scales with dataset size. Approximate guidelines:
- Small datasets (<10,000 rows): ~100 MB RAM
- Medium datasets (10,000-100,000 rows): ~500 MB RAM
- Large datasets (100,000+ rows): 1+ GB RAM
