Question: Where do the computations take place?

This is a very general, basic question.  

When I supply an input is the calculuation/computation performed on my computer?  Is it uploaded to a Maple server for calculating? 

 

I am assuming it takes place on my computer but just wanted to double check.  

 

Also, is there a way to see the progress of a calculation?  If it is something that might take days or even weeks..
