What is the purpose of the Hypercube memory limit?

The purpose of the Hypercube memory limit is to restrict parallel calculations during data processing. In Qlik Sense, hypercubes are used to construct and manage data structures that facilitate analytics and visualizations. By limiting the memory allocated to hypercubes, Qlik Sense ensures more efficient use of resources, preventing excessive memory consumption that could lead to performance degradation.

When multiple calculations are performed in parallel, especially in larger datasets, it can lead to situations where the system might become overwhelmed, causing slowdowns or crashes. The hypercube memory limit acts as a safeguard, balancing resource usage and maintaining system performance, thereby providing users with a smooth and responsive experience while working with their data.

The other options do not align with the functional intent of the hypercube memory limit. Definitions of user data connections, cache space allocation for reloads, or managing overall application data volume are related to different aspects of data handling and performance management within Qlik Sense.
