I am looking for ways to improve strategy optimization run times, I currently only have 8GBb RAM in my system, and am wondering if there would be any benefit to maximising the RAM to 32GB (the max my motherboard can take).
I realise there may be other ways to improve the optimization, just curious if the extra RAM would help?
Thanks,
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I have 32gb on my trading workstation and even with 40 charts open in Sierra Chart the memory consumption is barely 1GB. Not sure about NT but going to 32GB is likely overkill, I did it because I could not because I really needed it.
Thanks Mike, I think in general NT system consumption is quite low when I just have charts open and am connected to the exchange.
I am looking for ways to speed up optimisation runs, memory is relatively cheap right now, so my thought was that if more ram resulted in a faster optimisation, then I would be inclined to make the purchase.
If your running a 32 bit OS then it will only recognize 4GB regardless of how much you put in there. In order to take advantage of memory greater than 4GB you need to be running 64 bit OS.
