The sysadmins will be able to make big money :)
Dear Renat,
Will there be supercomputers in this network (it would be very useful)? I would like to have advanced capabilities on a par with global competitors. And one more request - please make, if possible, so that the network computing resource can be used (if desired) for the real-time calculation of indicators and EAs, and not only for testing. Otherwise, everything loses its meaning - why have super power for testing, when the indicator or Expert Advisor simply has no time to be calculated at runtime (bottle neck).
Dear Renat,

I think there's more demand for cores as it is.
It is good, but data transfer between cores via Internet (it is Internet, not some north-bridge chip) is less speedy, if there are a lot of them, right? It's not kosher, but you can put it into a supercomputer, and it will spin and spin everything fast inside it :).
The savings can be achieved if the resources allocated for the project, let's call them "cluster cells" will store the history of bars and other information (if possible), so as not to repeat the load from the server or the machine conducting the test.
Aside from network/internet costs, it is almost the same as a supercomputer (except for CPU, RAMM and HDD).
The number of PCs, total number of cores, average amount of memory per machine and average amount of memory allocated for data on disk are very important for such projects.
Networking/internet costs will also be a problem at first, but over time this will become almost invisible (if everything is organised correctly of course).
The MQL5 Cloud Network will provide resources only in the trading strategies optimizer mode. The entire network is built for the sake of mass calculation of the parameters to be searched.
So, even a single test cannot be conducted on the power of this network. For a single test, we can use either local agents or standard remote agents.
Renat:
That is, even single testing cannot be done on the capacity of this network. Either local agents or regular remote agents can be used for single testing.
This is where you need to elaborate. As far as I understand it, there is one core per test, but you can choose which one + it's possible to run several terminals.
Am I right?
Here's where it gets more detailed. As far as I understand it, we are talking about one core per run, but you can choose which one + it's possible to run multiple terminals.
Am I right?
I also have a question. Where can I read about using local agents or common remote agents to test a single run without enumerating optimisable parameters?
Hello, here we are! https://www.metatrader5.com/ru/terminal/help/algotrading/testing
With the " Select" button in the context menu you can select one of the agents to be used in the test (single pass). During optimisation the computation is automatically allocated to the agents.
Each agent can be disabled. For example, you can disable local agents when testing and optimizing on laptops. To do this, you should go to setting up an agent using the " Edit" button. In the window that appears, uncheck the "Enable" box. Disabled agents have icons

We have taken a major step forward by releasing remote strategy tester agents.
Now we are ready to present a truly cloud-based distributed testing system in the form of the MQL5 Cloud Network.
A well-configured MetaTester with a hybrid operation model is expected to be released soon:
You will be able to enable working via MQL5 Network with binding to your MQL5.com account or distribute your resources for free.
If you want to provide your resources for free, you can simply check a box and connect to the MQL5 Network anonymously.
An important feature of agents working in the MQL5 Network mode is that they will be able to bypass any proxies and firewalls, as they will create outgoing connections via the SSL protocol to geographically distributed CDN Task Manager servers.
