Hello, everyone.

I have some questions about Rapidminer Studio and Rapidminer Server


Briefly,

1. Does Rapidminer Studio or Rapidminer Server support parallel computing?

2. Does Studio or Server support resource allocation (such as RAM)?

3. Can Studio or Server generate executables in MS Windows (.EXE) or in Linux?

4. Is Rapidminer a VPL (visual programming language)?

Thank you in advance and have a nice day.

Best,

    1. Does Rapidminer Studio or Rapidminer Server support parallel computing? Yes, certain operators in certain packages of RapidMiner do support parallel computing.

    2. Does Studio or Server support resource allocation (such as RAM)? Yes, if by resource allocation you mean the ability to specify the max RAM that RapidMiner will utilize.

    3. Can Studio or Server generate executables in MS Windows (.EXE) or in Linux? Not really. You build processes that run inside the RapidMiner environment (either desktop Studio or Server).

    4. Is Rapidminer a VPL (visual programming language)? This depends on your definition of VPL. RapidMiner has a completely visual process design editor and automatically generates the underlying xml. But these processes can only be executed within RapidMiner, not as standalone programs (related to your question #3 I think).
