Instances can utilize separate cores/threads better, you say. But you said: "Although study calculations and graphics are all done on a single thread." Post #10 Processor and RAM requirements You said charts drawing takes a large fraction of processor power. For my 55 charts (15 hidden), over a thousand subcharts (40% hidden)and narrow over-lapped charts, I estimate 20% of I5 is used for display output. We all seek speed improvement. You said that an instance can't send subchart data to another instance. But S.C. can operate via TCP/IP with DCP (similar to your servers), and instances utilize cores. We need a display-handler module to thread on another core or Xeon processor. Have you tested ways to offload the main core for heavy graphics-- to a 2nd instance or processor or core? Might two powerful graphics cards do much better than (my) 1 monitor using on-board graphics and 2 monitors on a GTX960)? Maybe sending chart output as bitmaps to another core or processor which then drives 2 graphics cards could offload a single instance; ( Tom's hardware created a benchmark that wrote output bitmaps (output-card-independent): http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-coffee-lake-core-i5-8600k-cpu,5264-8.html ) I once read about Xeons set up where different processors were dedicated to graphics. Have you heard of any way to force one I5/I7 core to drive graphics cards, so Windows itself could balance the load better.? |
