Our recommendation when using Sierra Chart is that you disable hyperthreading if your CPU supports hyperthreading. This can be done in the system BIOS on your computer.

We would like feedback if this helps with Sierra Chart performance assuming that you have had any performance issues currently.

Having as many CPU cores as you can is always going to be best. Not just for Sierra Chart but for your system in general. This is especially true when using multiple instances of Sierra Chart with each instance taking advantage of additional cores.

All communication between Sierra Chart instances occurs on a background thread for the best performance.

For information about the use of threads in Sierra Chart, refer to:
Performance

And we also recommend installing a dedicated solid-state drive with Sierra Chart located on that drive and no other programs. These drives are very inexpensive these days. 250 GB is more than sufficient. It is very easy to transfer Sierra Chart over to a newly installed drive. Refer to:
