My experience is that when I started the same chartbook with backtest set up in it in both versions simultaneously, the x64 version ended while x86 version was at nearly 80%. So it was a little bit faster. Both versions took the same system resources from processor and memory usage. I set up just a quick backtesting environment from native SC functions and two of mine linear regresion channels. I used Trading system based on alert conditions and set the period of last 30 days on a minute chart. I will do more rigorous testing on my new comp when it arrives. It is a pitty that SC can use only one core for calculations. New 6-core processors working at higher frequencies are very promissing but sadly the limit is set in the software. I can understand some problems related with splitting calculation processes of continuous time lines but there exists some reasonable solution to this for sure (from efficiency prospective). Imho, the main competitor of SC in the field of retail trading is NT. When proper multicore support is added it will be very serious advantage even compared to many other platforms. |
