By the way, somehow GPU acceleration will probably make the product one of its kind. I don't think there are many commerical product that can accelerate calculations via GPU (i dont know any actually). Even Metatrader 5's strategy tester cant get any use of OpenCL.  They made distributed / network shared computation infrastructure for CPU only.

I still dont have any idea about price of Pro version, but it will worth too much a well developed GPU acceleration can be included somehow. Even in a structure of Plugin, which can be sold later/seperate.

Edit : You can also use EC2's compute nodes but they will probably cost you a fortune. Unless you use only small amount of time per day, say up to 4 hours or so, buying a new computer will be more  benefical.

For big compute nodes on EC2, say C3.8x large which is 32 core, you probably need to lunch at least 25-30 instance of FSB to get full CPU occupancy. Setting up 25-30 insstance of FSB for generating a strategy is a bit time consuming for now. Better  multi-core using version of course will suit better.  I tried FSB Pro on  Windows Azure and it was not calculating fast. Even if i manually distribute core affinity.

For the last, multi GPU / network / distributed computing support will make the product worth of... I dont know more than 1000$??

If fully rewrite source for parallel computing, it would be great speed difference.

We should understand that you intend to fully rewrite FSB source for parallel computing? In this case you'll be my hero for the next three years
As I wrote, I know one case only  on this planet that parallel computing works well.( ...and very fast, indeed...)

If fully rewrite source for parallel computing, it would be great speed difference.

Most interesting. Thanks

Thanks for that. my machine is on 24/7 so I guess I do not need VPS.

I was hoping there would be a great speed difference. lol

Thanks again.

Hello ultplyr
i just checked your reply now and when visited amazon i found this free tier option with 750 hrs per month this means the whole month period , also 30 GB of amazon standards is that 30 GB per month enough to run the FSB !!!!!!

http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/

Free Tier*
As part of AWS’s Free Usage Tier, new AWS customers can get started with Amazon EC2 for free. Upon sign-up, new AWS customers receive the following EC2 services each month for one year:

750 hours of EC2 running Linux/Unix Micro instance usage
750 hours of EC2 running Microsoft Windows Server Micro instance usage
750 hours of Elastic Load Balancing plus 15 GB data processing
30 GB of Amazon EBS Standard volume storage plus 2 million IOs and 1 GB snapshot storage
15 GB of bandwidth out aggregated across all AWS services
1 GB of Regional Data Transfer

It is free for the whole year

You just need to provide CC

Any alternatives without credit card info!!!

Thanks in advance

I run FSB and FSB Pro on an amazon m1.large instance, and it works great. I used to use another instance to run up to 6 FST instances at once, but sometimes had issues with FST connections disconnecting and connecting sometimes. One or two FST instances seemed to work fine.

I have shut down the FST until I find a strategy that works. I haven't found one yet :-(.

Below is a picture of an amazon instance connecting through RDC (windows remote desktop connection).

To get a cheaper price I use a spot instance and set the price bar high. Beware in this scenario that if the price of the service goes above the spot price you have set then the instance gets deleted. That is one reason why I install my code on an EBS volume, so at least all of the files are there.

sorry guys , i just noticed this topic , iam not familiar with cloud hosting for softwares . i made some search today waw its a fantasic idea but could any one here tell me the process of how to upload FSB to any cloud provider i mean is it needs special codes or special treatment for FSB to be hosted on a cloud

Regards and thanks in advance

Nothing special, just need VPS with Windows server

Regards and thanks in advance
