Query on QlikSense Reload Task Optimization: Cores, VCPUs, and Threads

Hi All,

I am writing to seek clarification on the optimal configuration for reloading Qlik Sense apps. According to best practices, it is recommended to set the maximum number of concurrent reloads to the number of cores minus 2. For example, on a system with 16 cores, the ideal setting would be 14 concurrent reloads. Article - https://customerportal.qlik.com/article/Concurrent-Reload-Settings-in-Qlik-Sense-Enterprise

To better understand how to optimize our server configuration, I have the following questions:

  • What is the relationship between cores, VCPUs, and threads in Qlik Sense, and how do they impact reload tasks?
  • Do I need to increase the number of cores or VCPUs to accommodate more reload tasks, or is one more beneficial than the other?
  • What are the benefits and drawbacks of having more cores, VCPUs, or threads in terms of reload speed and overall system performance?
  • Specifically, does increasing the number of cores or VCPUs lead to faster reload times, or are there diminishing returns?
  • Are there any recommendations for configuring threads, and how do they interact with cores and VCPUs?

I would appreciate it if you could provide a clear explanation or point me to relevant documentation.

Thanks in advance.
