The machine in question currently has 32 GB RAM, and SSD. The processor is and AMD FX 8350 8 Core. It is running 3 instances of Sierra Chart and the OS. No other functionality beyond Sierra Chart is tasked by the machine except for remote access services such as GoToAssist. Currently, in the slow after-hours market, the CPU load is around 32% of utilization, and the Memory utilization is around 18%. The CPU and Memory utilization likely moves above this during normal trading hours. However, when this issue occured, the market was not experiencing abnormal volatility. We have set the 'Affinity' of each instance of Sierra Chart to a virtual core and also to a physical core, and have left a dedicated virtual core and a dedicated physical core for the OS. We have set the 'Priority' of each instance of Sierra Chart to 'Real-Time'. The DTC Server and Sub-Instances all reside on the same machine. We are trading only 2 symbols, however, we are trading 30 automated trading strategies. With the above in mind, are there any hardware\software configuration changes that you could recommend? One more thought, the machine is running Windows 10. Would migrating to Windows Server 2008 provide any benefit? Thanks, C Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-12-01 00:59:58
