Types of computer server to use for local agent optimizations

[Abubakar Abu Saidu]

Hello.. good day to you all

i want to understand what type of computers are capable for optimizations

i have searched but found no topic discussing about server computers for optimization

Does any brand of server PC works with MT5 local optimization?

• Up to 512 processing cores in a 2U dense server - the xxxxxxxx

Up to 512 processing cores

Means 512 Local Agent available?

Thanks.

Due to the apparent lack of memory with an excessive number of agents and a decrease in the speed of calculations on hyper-threading cores, we decided to limit ourselves to only physical cores when working in cloud.

Now in Cloud they drive very expensive tasks, and the vast majority of Cloud participants have a banal lack of memory with many agents. For example, 2 GB per agent and 16 agents already require at least 32 GB of memory, although usually 8-16 GB are available.

As a result, many passes fail, wasting the network and agents. But most importantly, they are slowing down the calculation due to expectations of results and restarting tasks.

We have long been evaluating the approximate resource sufficiency of agents before issuing tasks to them, and one of the most effective is to work only on physical cores in cloud.

Locally, you can use all the cores as you can easily control their shutdown.

So, the physical cores are considered only for cloud.

Leave the solution to technical issues to specialists.

We know what and how to do. Moreover, the ability to properly use / scale resources practically does not affect the amount of code or the severity of the program.

Progress has come a long time ago. My working computer with 128 cores, since last year we have been purchasing computers with at least 64 cores for developers.

Working with such features, you immediately see the limits of scaling or inefficient use of resources. Therefore, we are rebuilding the terminal and tester to work effectively in more sophisticated configurations.

Moreover, these changes will provide multiple improvements and resource savings on weaker computers.

Yes.. this answers my questions.. 

Thanks a lot for your feedback..
