Inquiry: Execution time limits for heavy initial data processing #22

Description

@sai5880

Hello all,

I am currently developing my application and implementing a very heavy data chunking technique. During my local testing, the initial run of the application takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.

For context, my local environment is running on an Intel Core i5 11th Gen processor & 24GB RAM without a dedicated GPU. I understand that your servers will likely process this faster, but I also know that automated evaluation environments often have strict execution time limits.

Could you please clarify:

  1. Is it acceptable for the application's first run to take this long in the HackerRank evaluation environment?
  2. What is the hard timeout limit for the build/execution step?
  3. If this time exceeds the limits, is it acceptable to use workarounds for heavy initial data processing, such as caching, providing pre-processed chunks in the repository, or mocking the first run?

Thank you for your time and guidance.
