It would be too slow for market data. I tried it and it works only on small set of data. Also it is not designed for such kind of analysis.

If you don't believe me that disk partition alignment is essential, then you can read below. Here is information from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd758814.aspx ...A best practice that is essential yet often overlooked is disk partition alignment... ...For...

Partition aligning is always important. Try to find what Dell recommends for DB servers. It is very simple concept - reading unaligned sectors is 2 times slower than reading aligned ones.

1) Partition aligning - works for all cases. 2) Sector size - you can leave it as default. You can gain a lot even if you do 1) only.

The only way to know is to try it yourself and make a lot of benchmarks. The partition alignment is a common sense when you understand how it works - it is the same with CPU memory. The other factors - it depends. It is a part of our research for what can be achieved from available hardware...

My mistake I mistyped the term - not "interleave optimized" - it is a little more complicated. First you have to create a partition at an explicit disk offset for required cylinder alignment using diskpart.exe ======================= For example: ======================= Diskpart> select...

yes, this is always that way with new installations.

It is faster; saves energy; works very stable on a range of computers - I am using in house a cheap 1999 year computer for a server as well as brand new Dell Workstation, Lenovo Workstation, others too; many new technologies - DirectX11, Direct2D is scalable and fast - works with GPU graphics...

I always do a fresh install after formatting the hard disk. Besides I have a new info on how to format the hard drive for maximum speed. So better start a new install from a freshly formatted and disk interleave optimized hard drive.

Using Windows 7 since beta for ~6 months. Stable still in beta. Using RTM for ~ 2 months - very reliable. Last week there was an update.

we are developing a product with such capabilities. please register at http://www.thspro.com/contact-us and I will send to you more info.

[B] I am glad too it is so important. Column oriented is a part of the picture - it is still too general. Time series oriented comes closer to what we need. Still there is one more component - computations. kdb has its own language. If we have to use a computer language the first thing I...

;) General purpose solutions are always a compromise. From other side a custom tailored solution is not easy. But after weighting the options we came to conclusion the time learning and testing all these products would be better spend if we begin coding from scratch a custom tailored...

This made for each tick will slow down processing significantly.

We are working on something new and interesting - a real time screener and alert system. Still in beta - please register - we will notify you for next steps: http://www.thstart.com/contact-us

We are working on something new and interesting - a real time screener with similar and more functionality. Please register at: http://www.thstart.com/contact-us and I will notify you when we are close to testing it.

He is already out so you are safe ;) If you want to be a system administrator for every Linux program out there you are installing then go with Linux. Linux was pushed by the big hardware companies like IBM, HP, etc. as a way to sell more iron. The open source angle is also misleading -...

2008 R2 WITHOUT HYPER-V - I am working with it right now.

It depends from the load and type of application. I programmed my server with our code generator to make a quick computations with max performance. It is like a bursts, then the usage is going down and thus power efficiency. Also there are a lot of old programs not optimized to use all processor...

That is right. I installed Windows 7 on ages old 32 bit computer and configured it as a server. Runs much quicker than 32 bit XP. Updated 1 Dell 8250 with WS2008R2 and several other 64 bit workstations with Win 7. Configured for max power saving. The 1 month electricity bill came and...
