Hello, everyone
I don't know if it's my impression but I feel that with each new update of power bi desktop the memory consumption increases. I must confess that I don't have such a powerful machine, but the truth is that the idea is to make analytics accessible to all kinds of people and companies, and not just to large corporations with state-of-the-art computers.
In that order of ideas, it would be excellent if power bi desktop had the ability to manage memory in a personalized way, in the style of a suite like Adobe (photoshop, illustrator...) where you can determine how much memory should be used at a time given, especially for the gpu. I have had moments in which the main memory can have a consumption greater than 90% and the gpu with only 4% use, it would be great if in moments of high demand for power BI the gpu came to the rescue contributing part of its capacity to help to the ram and not saturate the equipment.
So specifically my idea is:
that the processing load is distributed between the main memory and the gpu. Allow custom allocation of main memory and gpu for power bi processes.
especially the microsoft mashup evaluation container process is extremely expensive
