Dear Support Following some issues essentially due to an old 2600K CPU I've upgraded specifically for Sierra Chart to an i7 9700K (not OC) with 32MB and 1TB M.2. However, I still notice that its really only ever CPU1 that gets pushed to its max which is consistent with my other PC. My question is this. Why given the power of C++ is the load not being distributed across the other cores? It often hits the 100% during certain activities (monitoring Sierra Chart only) and stays there during which time Sierra Charts waits, freezes or locks wrt user inputs until the load reduces. It's on the initial chartbook load that the other cores reach 100% and then only for a short space of time. Look forward to your input. Many thanks. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-04-01 16:48:21

Dear Support, Absolutely brilliant explanation. Really excellent video! I had already reduced the amount of chart-data being loaded to that required which had a huge impact and left everything running smoothly. The multi-instance/thread explanation was also really helpful especially as I will shortly be increasing the number of charts. Quick question. Should reference 8) the "data record timeframe" be re-download at the smallest timeframe unit required as opposed to the larger unit or am I misunderstanding this? Again, thank you for taking the time to put together this video and explanation. |
