We also want to explain power management, on computers. There are both operating system settings for this and also settings at the hardware level in the BIOS. In the case of Dell computers in particular Dell servers, there are various power management settings, both with the CPU settings, and also, in the system configuration. You will want to check your BIOS and try altering the power management settings for maximum performance. Changing the settings only in the operating system, may not have any effect or not make too much of a difference. Servers we use for order routing and processing CME multicast feeds, are set for maximum performance and the CPUs speed are always 100%. The servers, have high-performance fans, and are pulling in cold data center air and have very good cooling. This is how we can achieve ultra low latency order routing. Since we cannot afford the delay for the CPU to be clocking up to a higher speed. The servers do draw more power, but we need that. In other applications, depending upon what the server is used for, the CPU may not always be running at 100% but they may be at 60% or higher. It depends upon the application. We will not be working on any videos, but instead be implementing precise time calculations, of all that is involved with calculations and updating of a chart or Trading DOM. The other areas, of the program relevant would be network I/O, and data feed processing. Network I/O has not changed, and is very high-performance. It is the same as we use on our servers. Data feed processing is also implemented with extreme high performance. It is the same data processing, which processes entire exchange feeds on our servers tracking in some cases 80000+ symbols at a time in a single instance. ---- Other things to do to improve performance on your system is increasing the amount of memory, and disable the paging file. Our servers run typically 512 GB and there is no paging file. We are not saying you need such massive amounts of memory like this, but this is what we do use. Usually 32 GB is enough for a desktop computer. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
