Ways to improve memory during optimization
23 Dec 2022, 22:05


Hello Spotware,

If I run a considerably long optimization (hours or days), ram usage goes up pretty high and slows down the computer, I think there should be ways to optimize ram usage, for example:

- Remove/Kill passes that are net losses, if I have 10k or 100k passes rows inside the display, I can only imagine how much ram is wasted on that. What if we could have an option to just visualize in a row the best 100 passes or so, and ditch the rest?
- Progressively Dump the results into a file, this way ram usage will be reduced.

Maybe the community has other useful ideas to reduce ram usage

On a non-related topic but still optimization, although there are workarounds that I've already made and tried, please give us an option to export the results into a csv.

Regards,


cTrader
