MetaTester (build 2572) - no SMT?

[jalbert]

Today I noticed that there's only 6 agents available out of usual 12. It's Intel i7 5820K 6 cores/ 12 threads CPU. Is there any change about SMT that I'm not aware of or possibly a bug?

This changes (that physical cores only will be used; it is 6 in your case) were made in November last year.

Per computer:

Tester agents/Remote agents/MQL5 Cloud Network agents‌/MetaTester 5 Agents Manager are no longer available for use in the 32-bit terminals: they can work only in the 64-bit systems: read more here 

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" - post #60

Thank you very much for a quick reply. Obviously I missed that change. Today I needed to reinstall MetaTester, it somehow removed itself from the system, might be connected to recent Windows update/ MetaTester update and got to reinitialize my agents. As I check my MetaTester application daily I'm sure it was showing 12 agents yesterday, it most probably just haven't updated agents number on itself.

Non existing problem solved, hope it helps others.
