TOI

Times of Interest Service

TOIs, which stands for Times of Interest, are responsible for determining what data a Computation should process. TOIs define the time period from which input data should be taken for a Computation or Analysis. The times specified in TOIs are not tied to time zones or UTC time - they are “floating” times.

Algorithm Runtime Impacts

  • If an Algorithm has a grouping strategy of TOI defined in the algorithm manifest, the TOI configuration will be used to ensure data delivered to an Algorithm job meets the time interval unit specifications defined here.
  • If an Algorithm does not have a grouping strategy of TOI defined in the algorithm manifest, time will not be considered as a relevant data chunk and will deliver data to an Algorithm job based on platform optimization logic.
  • The Algorithm must be designed in a way where the time groups DO NOT MATTER to the final results delivered.
