Running duel instances of SQ

Anything to take note of while operating two duel instances of SQ?

 

I noticed that CPU was maxing out at 50-70% use, and I wanted to play with ‘completed’ strategies and portfolios while the main SQ was busy with its monkies and typewriters finding new strategies.

 

I installed in two separate directories, have imported the data for each of the installs.

 

Will the two instances share the system resources happily? memory and CPU? Or could one dominate the other? Is there anything in particular that could/should be done to have them operate together optimally?

HI,

 

Do you need an additional license in order to run 2 instances on the same PC?

Hi JimmyBou,

no you don´t need an additional license.

One license is connected to one computer.

 

You can copy the SQ directory and start the SQ.

It is very easy.

 

If you have a fast you computer you can start SQ 5 times ore more at only one computer.

Thanks Thomas.

I have a PC with two physical Xeon Quad Core CPU’s so even if I can just run 3 instances I would be more than happy.

 

Regards

Jimmy

Hello,

 

yes, you can run multiple instances of SQ on one computer, they should share the CPU load, one shouldn’t be faster than the other one.
