[amibroker] Anyone using Amibroker with 6-8 realtime charts? - CPU staying at 
100% all the time

  
  Hello,
   
  I can not agree with any of those observations. AB performs 
  just fine in real time mode provided that
  one does not use "killer" formulas like on-the-fly-line 
  composites over hundreds of tickers.
   
  SAR is not that bad. I can run 10 charts with two panes each 
  Price and SAR simultaneously in real-time without problems.
  I have standard setting of 3 second refresh interval (in 
  Tools->Preferences->Intraday)
  With this setup on my Athlon XP1700 it consumes on AVERAGE 
  not more than 9% (NINE PERCENT only) of CPU time.
  (see attached)<IMG alt="" hspace=0 
  src="gif00092.gif" align=baseline border=0>
   
  To get AVERAGE CPU usage measure in Windows Task manager 
  switch View->Refresh interval to "SLOW"
   
  You may be misguided completely by the Windows Task manager 
  if you set View->Refresh interval to "FAST".
  Then it gives you not average but temporary 
  amounts.
   
  When you switch to "FAST" mode the CPU usage shown will jump 
  from ZERO to 100% because this is the way
  all programs work: if then need CPU - they get the time 
  slice from the system and execute at MAXIMUM SPEED (100%)
  until given task (say refresh) is completed - then they 
  switch to sleep state (0% CPU) and so on.
  So you will get spikes and valeys but it averages to much 
  smaller value than the spike is.
   
  For example in the 10 chart example I was getting 60% spikes 
  and much long 0% CPU usage areas.
   
   
  If you unfortunatelly have written very slow formula 
  the solution may be just to go to
  Tools->Preferences->Intraday
  and change 
  "Intraday refresh interval" from default 3 seconds to 5 
  or 10 seconds.

    Hi Jayson,
     
    AB takes a lot of CPU usage in RT. The most 
    I'll do is 4 with update every 5 seconds. ... so it has not been as good as 
    it is for EOD.
     
    I use it in conjuction with eSignal ... not 
    sure if I can realisticalyy migrate to AB alone... 
     
    4 items you might watch for to decrease 
    CPU load:
    - Do not use interpretation window - causes 
    extra processing.
    - Do not use Tooltips - causes extra 
    processing.
    - If you have loops that start at someplace 
    other than i=0, quick AFL will not help... AB will process all cells at 
    every bar
    - Update screen as little as possible. AB 
    processes all data every time you update screen

        Hello,
         
        Anyone out there using AB with esignal 
        realtime with 6 or more real time chart windows open?. I have about 10 
        Forex realtime charts and I see CPU staying at 100% all the time....With 
        help 
        from support I made some modifications to 
        the code also...But still stays very high....If anyone has seen this 
        before appreciate your comments.
         
        Thanks.
