CPU Upgrade
Posted: Mar 28 2024
I am upgrading to either a dedicated server or VPS with GPU. A Dedicated Server has a better and more efficient use of its resources as there is no level of virtualization like in the case of a VPS. However, CPUs handle limited threads, while GPUs tackle thousands simultaneously. This makes GPUs optimal for data-heavy tasks like certain trading analytics and chart rendering.
I only have 8 charts open but my custom indicators are resource-intensive and typically load 180 days of tick data for manual backtesting on charts (no auto strategy backtesting).
Is this post below from 2013 still accurate?

‘MultiCharts is multi-thread enabled. However, each chart will only be loaded into a core... ONE core only. One core can take multiple charts, but one chart will not (and cannot) be distributed into multiple cores.’
---------------------------------------------------------------
Given my resource-intensive charts, I am trying to determine which is better for my situation. They are about the same price. The Institutional Server at $190 monthly and the GPU VPS at $200 monthly. But, if a resource-intensive chart cannot be distributed into multiple threads,, then the GPU VPS would not be beneficial.
The dedicated server is shown in the link here. See Institutional Server
