Can Seer take advantage of multi-core processors?
Yes and no. In the real-time version of Seer, each major component runs in a separate thread. Each Seer account also run’s in a separate thread and there can be more than one Seer account running concurrently from the same data feed. In this situation, Seer can take advantage of multi-core technology. In the case of backtesting a trading system only a single thread is used. We are working on a version of the optimizer than can run in more than one thread which would take advantage of multi-core technology.
