I am currently designing a new computer build for next month (Nov), so I have a special interest in your reporting. A Strategy Wizard improvement factor of 7.5 is very significant (!!). To what degree do you think the various new components contribute to this huge performance boost? --From what I have heard discussed elsewhere, I would not think that the SATA to NVMe would contribute much, except for initial program loading. (EDIT: Corrected the reference to M.2 which is just a form factor) --Strat Wiz works in memory, so one of the biggest boosters would definitely be DDR3 to DDR4, and also the higher frequency of the newer DDR4. --The core speeds are the same 3.9GHz, but the newer cpu instruction throughput is probably significantly higher. Q: I do not think that Strat wiz can use more than one core; OT/VT do not. But GA training is supposed to be multi-core (4 to 12 cores!). (EDIT: Barry Cohen confirmed in separate email that Strat Wiz can only use one core). --The move from PCI 3 to PCI 4 (X570 mobo) might be helpful; not sure how, though. Only NVMe would use the PCIe for Strat Wiz purposes; for data logging? Anybody have ideas/suggestions? What do you think Roland? --Mark G. [Edited by mgerber on 10/29/2020 8:42 PM] | |
