No comment from SC on (1), I see. Does SC not engage in performance benchmarking of its own products? Hard to believe you don't [secretly] benchmark your own product. I can imagine possible reasons you might withhold benchmarking tools and data from your users. It would put enormous pressure on your programmers to fix the weaker parts of your product, might be used in the adverts of competitors etc. But if you really stand by the overall excellence of your product, I respectfully suggest the benefits of supplying your users with accurate/actionable performance data on SC will surely outweigh its costs. 3. This would never be documented because we would only document issues/configurations within Sierra Chart itself that can cause performance issues.
SC don't exist in a vacuum. The very fact that you only offer SC on Windows despite the existence of vastly superior hardware/software platforms (Apple, Linux) suggests SC Engineering has put other, outside considerations (e.g., profit) ahead of the performance and reliability of its product by its choice to only support Windows. It's been decades since I was a programmer, but aren't there cross platform development tools for C++? What is preventing you from offering users the ability to run SC on Linux and Apple? From google: Can C++ be used for cross-platform?
C++ is also one of the initial cross-platform languages, even though it couldn't shift into the world of the web and mobile. C++ is best suited for developing software like operating systems, database engines, game engines, compilers, and servers. At the same time, C++ is a great choice as a cross-platform language. |
