In Flyte, workflows in a chunk share the same execution context, which includes resource allocation and scheduling constraints. The chunk size impacts how tasks are batched and executed in parallel, affecting resource utilization and execution efficiency.
According to the
Flyte documentation on nested parallelization, a larger chunk size can lead to better resource utilization and reduced overhead from task scheduling, but it may also increase the memory and CPU load on individual nodes. Conversely, a smaller chunk size can lead to more granular parallelism and potentially better load distribution across nodes, but it may introduce higher scheduling overhead.
Would you like more details on how to configure chunk size or its impact on specific workflows?
