Re: [amibroker] Best way to run fast and slow tasks

[Herman <psytek@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Dennis. That would work and the improvements would be proportional to the number of fragments I create Ten fragments gives a ten times faster GUI response. The problem is that my code gets even more complicated and that the technique would not be easily transferable to other system.

It would be nice to have a floating control panel that is executed independently so that i can use it with any system. I was hoping that multiple cores would do that but i know very little about how modern computers work. I am from the Flip-Flop days :-) 

Thanks Dennis, i will think about your suggestion.

Are there any computer experts who know how window would handles two instances?

Herman,

Can you break up your slow code so that only one phase of it is  
executed each pass?  You would have to save partial results in static  
variables, and start over at critical points, like a new bar or such.   
If you can do that, then you can have the GUI code executed every  
phase.  This will speed up the UI process greatly.

BR,
Dennis

I have a system that runs some modules that executes rather slowly,
about 0.5sec/pass but that has a gfx GUI (mostly buttons) that  
executes
fast and the needs to respond quickly to mouse clicks for trading.  
What
happens is that some clicks are missed and also that my GUI (gfx)
refreshes very slow, sometimes half my buttons refresh first, then the
slow code executes, and then the remainder of my buttons refresh.
Irritating to work with.

My Question: If I run two instances of Amibroker and use one  
exclusively
for my GUI and the other for my slow code (Since my GUI is in a  
floating
window I can organize the two AB Instance to appear like one). Would  
the
execution of my GUI be super fast or would it still be effected by the
slow code running on the other AmiBroker instance? I can handshake the
two systems using persistent variables. I run an Intel Core2 Quad  
Processor.

Many TIA,
herman
