Hi, I tested it and compared an normal optimization process between 32bit and 64 bit. On the same formula Amibroker 32-bit took more than 8 hours for the optimization process, and Amibroker 64-bit just 4h:50min. So my experience shows me, that it's much faster. My question is, could you

Interesting. TJ used to claim that the 64 bit version was 25% faster. He has since changed that claim to 'a bit' faster. Why the change...? --- In amibroker@yahoogroups.com, dubi1974 gonzale...@... wrote: Hi, I tested it and compared an normal optimization process between 32bit and 64

Did you perform your test using an exhaustive optimization on identical machines (or better yet, the same machine), differing only by 32 bit windows vs. 64 bit windows? If not, your test is comparing apples to oranges. 1. If using different machines, the hardware will play a very large role in

Mike - Minor correction and maybe more than you are interested in, but SPSO appears to initialize its random number generator with a fixed seed on each optimization, so the search sequence is the same - so, SPSO runs are reproducible. This is actually useful in certain cases. I found that I

Hi Mike, Same machine, same optimization. I am using Windows 7x64bit. CPU is Intel i7 920. 6GB DDRAM3. And I compared the same optimization of a formula on Amibroker 32bit and Amibroker 64bit. Regarding exhaustive optimizer. There is not exhaustive optimizer for 64bit. That's why I did neither

Hello, Exhaustive (i.e. full grid) optimization is the one that is default and built-in in AmiBroker, does not require any plugin. Only NON-exhaustive methods require any plugins. Regarding non-exhaustive optimization, 64-bit version already has it - CMAE. Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko

Hello Mr. Tomasz Janeczko, Please guide if an AmiBroker Database ASCII Import created in 32bit can be used in 64Bit or vice-versa? Can the same database be used sometime in 64bit and sometime in 32bit(not at the same time)? I mean I hope opening database in 64bit does not render the database

Hello, As written here: http://www.amibroker.com/x64/ it is a bit faster. The difference in practice is hardly noticeable. What can be 25% faster? Only certain array operations that use SIMD / SSE extensions on 64-bit version and only normal FPU on 32-bit version. That does not however translate
