A question about hardware usage during the backtest

IcaroFM · Mon, 07 Dec 2020 18:34:27 +0000

Hi, I’ve a question about hardware used when I run a backtest. I’ve taked a look on task manager but it seems that CPU isn’t so used. Maybe the work is done away on PRT servers? I’ve to change my PC and I would like to buy the best setup to go fast with backtests. But if they’re done on PRT servers I don’t need such a fast processor but only large memory. Could you help me?

You are correct … backtest processing is undertaken remotely on PRT Servers.
