Post From: SC Version 2714: Backtesting time doubled; SC Process CPU Usage oscillating all the time

I did some tests with different Chart Update Intervals than the default one of 250ms. Findings: Fastest backtest with Chart Update Interval on SC 2714 is 550ms. Unfortunately, instead of 3 minutes 20 seconds it does take 4 minutes. The SC process CPU utilization does oscillate less. At 550ms between 12% and 19%. At 250ms between 2% and 16%. The more you get away from the 550ms the more the CPU utilization does oscillate. The CPU Frequency is oscillating between 1.8 GHz and 4.6 GHz. SC 2700/2712 oscillates between 4.57 GHz and 4.6GHz. SC process CPU utilization is almost stable around 16% and 18%. I’ll stay with SC 2712 for now. To clarify. I just talk about backtesting with a study doing all the work. I don’t interact with SC except stopping the running backtest to change the study parameters. According to the SC support board there are others complaining about laggyness interacting with SC by keyboard/mouse since SC > 2700. I never tested that. It doesn’t mean I don’t have these kinds of problems. I just don’t know because I’m currently totally focused on automatic backtesting. |
