Desktop Mode
The desktop mode is the default execution mode for KNIME workflows. In desktop mode:
Workflows can be executed only on the client machine. Data is staged between each node in a workflow. The workflows are optimized such that the persisted data are reused. This may use large amount of disk space when workflows having large amounts of data are run.
Workflows can be partially executed. This helps to iterate development when creating a workflow initially.
The amount of parallelism is limited and takes longer to run workflows.
