Why is the notebook kernel restarting or not responding?

You might see the following message during your notebook session if your dataset is larger than 100mb or your code uses lot of memory:

The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically.

  • Option 1: Choose a higher memory level for your next notebook session.
  • Option 2: Reduce the size of your dataset while you are prototyping your tool.
