How to speed up back test?
03 Jun 2020, 22:57


Hi,

I back test a single cbot which takes up approx 15% cpu with remaining 80% cpu free. intel i7. memory is approx 30% utilized, leaving 70% free. Stored on SSD.

How can I speed up the cbot backtest? I want to push it to use 50-70% cpu.

Hi eofe,

Backtesting is a sequential single threaded process so it doesn't really benefit from multicore processors. Hence there is no simple way to increase your CPU utilization.
