Back testing / Optimization
I recently purchased a new computer with AMD Thread ripper 3900x (12 cores and 24 threads), 128 gig RAM and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics, M.2 1TB NVMe PCI-Express SSD . When I run a complex optimization using 15 months of 1 min data, it was taking about 20 - 25 minutes for 2500 iterations per pass. I noticed that my CPU was only using 28 - 33% of its max capacity. I tinkered with the BIOS and deactivated the hyperthreading (SMT) so I was only using 12 logical cores and no hyper threads. Amazingly, my process time was cut by 75% down to 6 minutes with 75-80% CPU usage. My questions are; 1. Is there a way to boost CPU usage further? 2. Is there an inherent bottle neck in NT8 that prevents it from processing faster? 3. If I bought a 32 or 64 Core processor, will that cut my optimization time further or is there a limit to how many cores NT8 can use. 4. Does anyone know how to arrange a cloud computer with 64 or more logical cores and what that would cost or if its possible? Thanks

Hello jzelen,
Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!
Yes, taking advantage of IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration being set to false and instantiating objects in State.DataLoaded will improve optimization performance.
Hi there, I recently noticed that there may be an issue with memory allocation when running back testing. I noticed that the memory utilisation of my windows

Since I am relatively new to Strategy building and optimization, I am using the NT8 Strategy Builder only and not writing my own strategies at this point. is there a way to stay within the strategy builder and still set the IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration = False? (that address the bottle neck issue) Also the rest of my initial post; Is there a way to boost CPU usage further? If I bought a 32 or 64 Core processor, will that cut my optimization time further? How do I arrange a cloud computer with 64 or more logical cores and what that would cost? Thanks
