Node-level Timeouts

Individual nodes used in a graph can become slow during execution time when resources are constrained. Eventually, those nodes may use up the entire time allotted for job execution.

If this occurs, job queues may start to back up. The way Xponent handles this to avoid having further delays and backed-up queues is by setting node-level timeouts.

When a node times out, an error will go down an error branch, providing visibility to users on the timeout.

In addition to the node-level timeouts, the graph execution also has a timeout threshold. An error goes down to the error branch after reaching the defined threshold.

Avoiding timeouts

To ensure optimal use of resources, we have implemented node-level and graph timeouts as safety measures.
