thank you for this reply....yes later on - provided I have enough subscribers I can think about building a more reliable server grade setup (that will be looked after by a hardware professional)..for now I might just stick iwth i7 3990k lots of non ecc ram ...btw do you think modern ram is very...

yes a desktop looks an attractive option for sure as I have NO prior experience workign with server hardware and would need to handle it all on my own most of the time (no dedicated it staff for now)...I might devise a special checking after=processor in excel that will make sure there are no...

yes I am thinking about that....

You mean all the original excel model files can stay on my own hard-drive and the calculation will be sent to the calculating instances? if yes - I am not sure my broadband will allows that as my excel files are very large - close to 500mbs on average...

thank you for your generous attention!) I need to introduce one more element into the equation...sorry to have left it out before....I need to spend quite some time outside of the Europe and USA - in eth Western Europe - where the server grade parts take a week to arrive - a week is...

yes they can be slow but I cannot change them because compiling a code would take a year....I need to maximize cpu performance and memory... I wonder if you have tried running your i73930k for long periods of time..like 10 hours at the maximum load....I wonder how it behaved? lets say for...

thank you for your reply.....I will think more about adding the VMS - with excel 2003 each running in one WinXP VM - this can be really fast to parallelize....I will combine the analytics from the separate VMS in the host machine.....the individual analysis could be done in excel 2003 but...

yes thanks...I will surely get the SSD....HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE RAMDISK? it appears to beat the SSD in some ways?

thank you for your reply...I need 4 VMs to each analyse its own time frame of the 50 currency pairs....the analysis will be performed identically for each time frame of the 50 currency pairs....so to analyse it all in parallel I am thinking of breaking the whole pipeline into 4 parallel sub...

7 yes thank you for pointing me in the direciotnof the excel...yes I knwo it has some issues that I will need ot del with the fastest and most stable machine as possible.....do you thinkt hat XEON E3 1275 V2 with 4 cores at 3,5 ghZ CAN PULL OF 4 VIRTUAL MACHINES EACH RUNNING EXCEL 2007 AND...

yes thank you...but I am limited in time right now.....will stick with excel for now....maybe later...how long do you think ti mitgh take to transform a 300 mb excel model file with around 500,000 cells with formulas?

yes thank you for the suggestion on how to speed this up - right now I am setup with Excel doing he model and Matlab the charts.....could be much faster with c++ for sure....do not have time to transform all the models there right now...maybe later....

thanks...yes I have been thinking of Amazon clouds as well...I did not fully understand their operation....do I create a virtual image of the pipeline windows and upload it to them for running? how about the security of the EXCEL model files inside the image?

thank you very much for the detailed reply.......can you please give me the specs of the high performance ram you mentioned as well as the sdd disk you are using...I am really balancing between the xeon and i7....) I am thinkign of runnign 4 seperate vurtual machine each crunching its own subset...

thank you for your interesting reply.....well I have 50 currency pairs to analyse daily - 4 time frames each - each time frame shoudl be analyzed using a few different large excel files (5 or so) - around 300 mbs on average....meaning on average the 300 mbs excel file would need to be...

I am just concerned if i7 will be able to run the continuous number crunchinh session lasting MONTHS ? I might not power-off the computer for months! you think XEON can handle such workload? and I7?

yes system stability is what I am aiming for..the system wil be doing large amount of price data processing continuously - for most of the day.......peak performance can be traded for more stability in xeon ..not sure if i7 can match that

glad to hear you face the same question....I woudl go with the i7 if I were perfectly sure it can perform absolutely stably each day doing continuous number crunching for months to come - even if years.....I plan to offer the analysis on a continuous basis - daily updates on thousands f...

thank you for your reply...I am still concerned with system reliability as I might need to remotely control the server and to initial batch jobs from afar..........you think which type of machine beats the other in this regard?

Hello, I wonder if you can help me to build the perfect PC setup for the following task: I am going to perform daily financial market analysis on multiple instruments using Excel (large workbooks around 300 and 500 mbs), Matlab and Automation software. The price will be loaded into Excel...
