Manage running machines

This page provides information about how to manage machines running for your notebooks.

Manage the machine for the currently opened notebook

Go to Main menu | Run or open the command palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+A. You have the following options:

Action	Description
Start machine	Restarts the machine. This may take some time as it restarts all required processes and installs your custom libraries.
Stop machine	Stops all processes on the machine. Most often used when: The kernel keeps crashing. You are not planning to run any code or use smart coding assistance. You want to work with your Markdown cells and save computation time.
Change machine	Used to switch to another machine. Your options are: Basic, Large, and GPU.
Background computation	Keeps the computation running after the tab is closed. Find more details in the Computation modes section.

You can always manage all your running machines from both the Home page and the editor. Use the Running machines menu.

- In the editor, click the avatar in the upper right corner and select Running machines from the menu.
To stop a machine, click the Stop button for the respective list item. After that, the stopped machine is removed from the list.
