Post From: CPU usage for multi-core processor

I've been watching Resources & Cores usage and see better CPU Cores (more equal) utilization lately. Has your work on DTC & Instances included modules flexibility, threading or some way this is occurring? I know the spreadsheets have improved & are faster. You can just tell ( I saw in the Versions notes, too). I have a 4-Core Intel I5-2500K OC'd at 3.9GHZ. On backtesting at 60X speed,or fast market, of cores 0,1,2,3, I'm seeing the middle 2 handling more than the others (way more than a few months ago where most was on one core, a little on another). Even the last core is doing 60% of the main 2. And the 0 core is loafing at about 1/4 of the others. Intel core speed stepping keeps the CPU ususually at a low .96- 1.21 Volts at high load; temp is good even with standard cooler. Maybe I hit a sweet spot on a NV GF GTX 660 (put in a couple months ago) working with On-board INTC 3000 graphics, which seemed to balance out some core load. I'm just curious whether you tried much on threading, or modularity helping the Win 7 64-Pro manage the load? I think SC said the DTC-protocol & server orientation was working toward some threading for the data server? If so, whatever you've done (or we've done) is working. Also I stripped out all the NVIDIA and other junk except the main driver & most basic processes, changed AntiVirus, and set priority to high on SC. Funny-- when I open Chrome with 8 tabs, SierraChart almost loses connection & slows down. Chrome has become a hog. Solution: DO Nothing else with a trading computer but TRADE. Whatever happened, seeing all those cores in balanced load, under 24% total at peak is great on such a huge instance of charts, studies & spreadsheets. Sierra Chart leads the way in fast, reliable, lean & well-designed. |
