FROM   B"CPU Basics: Multiple CPUs, Cores, and Hyper-Threading Explained" y Chris Hoffman, June 15th, 2017, "How-To-Geek"


"A single physical CPU core with hyper-threading appears as two logical CPUs to an operating system. The CPU is still a single CPU, so it’s a little bit of a . While the operating system sees two CPUs for each core, . The CPU  it has more cores than it does, and it uses its own logic to speed up program execution. In other words,  into seeing two CPUs for each actual CPU core."cheatthe actual CPU hardware only has a single set of execution resources for each corepretendsthe operating system is tricked

By Sam Bowling . FROM  "  "What is a Hyper-Threaded Processor and Does it Matter?ThinkIT 2013


"Hyper-Threading (HT) is a technology Intel released on their Pentium 4 and Xeon-equivalent series of processors. When you use a HT-enabled CPU you will notice in your system profile that it reports you have two processors instead of just one. While you think,”that’s amazing! I have two processors IN ONE!”  this is not the case.What HT actually is, technology-wise, is a duplication on certain sections of the processor that handle the state of threads. . This allows the operating system to schedule two threads at the same time. A thread is basically an instruction that is given to the CPU and ."It does not actually duplicate the main resources on the processorwaits for a result

AN IMPORTANT  NOTE FOR OUR VALUED GLOBAL MDPP PRECISION PIVOTS AND MARKET ALPHA NEWSLETTERS GROUP MEMBERSHIP AND READERSHIP REFERRED TO EBAY FOR A POWERTRADESTATION... Please Read Carefully...


The key to a modern 'trading computer's' ability to process high volumes of real-time market data across many multiple screens without experiencing modern cloud-based trading platform 'data drag' (death to the daytrader) is significantly more dependent on the capability of its GPU Complex than any other feature typically associated with the average multi-monitor office desktop computer system setup.


Once beyond a relatively standard CPU Complex threshold (which is very inexpensive to achieve at wholesale) the system's GPU Complex processing capability becomes key in overall data speed and volume refresh rates within multi-monitor extended visibility display area systems (which is where the significant wholesale cost difference, and 'bang for the buck' actually resides in a 'trading computer,' (not the CPU).   The GPU difference is what actually primarily serves to differentiate an effective extended visibility display area setup 'trading computer' capable of processing and compiling large volumes of streaming real-time market data across many screen throughout the entire course of a 'market day' without encountering 'data drag'! This high-volume capable GPU Complex processing and compiling, and the higher levels of DEDICATED MEMORY (not 'active' memory or 'graphic' memory!) included in the trading computer's GPU Complex, is what distinguishes it from an otherwise ordinary business office multi-monitor extended visibility display system, whether the display area be 2 or 12 monitors of total screens.  The number of monitor screens supported by a particular GPU Complex does not at all equate to the ability of the GPU Complex to timely and effectively process extensive amounts of financial markets data in real-time visually and quickly across each screen, and then further compile and process this immense and growing amount of data handily and visually throughout the course of the entire trading day without untimely thresholding into and incurring significant occasions of "market data drag," requiring potential and repeated system shutdowns and system restarts during what may be critical market hours and critical market position execution moments during the active advanced financial position manager's and derivatives daytrader's working day!  We caution you against buying a system from a simple used computer vendor more interested in hyping and 'making a computer sale' than in protecting and advancing you as an effective high-alpha financial markets trader!  We understand the traders need for multiple famecharts, watchlists, level II quotes, heat maps, news streams, mytrade chat, analytical and studies software, and active trader 'trade execution' software, all open and running simultaneously in real-time across many monitors to support the active advanced visual daytrader's enterprise work, and his or her profitable recognition and execution of key scenario setup opportunities as they emerge and evolve during the trading day!  And we are fully aware of how important a true power tradestation's GPU Complex is to the effective visual trader and his visual data management regime, and to his or her overall market performance and alpha!


You will want a power tradestation with a GPU COMPLEX capable of processing and displaying extensive amounts of real-time market visual data within a modern high-visual-data-volume-processing cloud-based trading platform, and its software analytics and trade execution components, across the full breadth of your large ultra-high-resolution real-time market extended visibility display area, and a GPU complex capable of doing so throughout the course of your extensive trading day!


"Experienced traders and trader technicians working with traders for traders to help enable traders and investors to make better trades!"

 

"We put our traders and their success first!"  -  Powertradestationsglobal


So, be careful of system providers and builders who would mis-leadingly hype relatively inexpensive and inconsequentially different legacy CPU(s), and mis-represent marginal differences and the number of actual processors and cores in the CPU Complex, and also hype slower 2TB HDD(s) as though they were any use to the trader at 7200RPM yet with insufficient transfer rates, and builders who would fail to install adequate and more costly GPU Complex components, with sufficient DEDICATED MEMORY (and quote irrelevant and misleading active memory metrics instead) within their systems. MORE COSTLY AND EFFECTIVE GPU COMPLEX COMPONENTS ARE REQUIRED TO PREVENT THE OCCURRENCE OF "MARKET DATA DRAG" ACROSS THE SYSTEM'S REAL-TIME MARKET EXTENDED VISIBILITY DISPLAY AREA IN ITS STREAMING DATA COMPILATION AND PRESENTATION THROUGHOUT THE THE COURSE OF THE TRADING DAY.   


A Special Caution regarding trading computers with CPUs utilizing Hyper-threading being utterly misrepresented recently by some used computer vendors on Ebay who are marketing older and very inexpensive simple legacy multi-monitor office computer systems, and presenting these systems with utterly misleading hype in both Title and Descriptions as "trading computers" ... perhaps to catch a 'trader's premium' on their otherwise noncompetitive computer/server inventories... 


An old legacy $12 Intel Xeon 5080 Dual Core Processor is not a 4-Core Processor.  2x Xeon 5080 in a system IS NOT  an '8 processor' system.  It is a 2 processor system with 4 cores total.  It is not even a true 'Quad Core' system (a system actually requiring 4 true physical cores within one processor!). 


Additional utterly misleading examples... a matching pair of $9.25 Xeon 5570 processors in a system IS NOT a '16 processors' system.'  A single hexa core Xeon X5680 in a system IS NOT a 'twelve processors' system.  A single $22 Xeon 5590 processor in a system IS NOT an '8 processor' system.  Do not be mislead and fooled by utter misrepresentations in Titles and Descriptions....


FROM  "CPU Basics: Multiple CPUs, Cores, and Hyper-Threading Explained"  By Chris Hoffman, June 15th, 2017, "How-To-Geek"


"A single physical CPU core with hyper-threading appears as two logical CPUs to an operating system. The CPU is still a single CPU, so it’s a little bit of a cheat. While the operating system sees two CPUs for each core, the actual CPU hardware only has a single set of execution resources for each core. The CPU pretends it has more cores than it does, and it uses its own logic to speed up program execution. In other words, the operating system is tricked into seeing two CPUs for each actual CPU core."

FROM  "What is a Hyper-Threaded Processor and Does it Matter?"  By Sam Bowling ThinkIT 2013singlehop.com


"Hyper-Threading (HT) is a technology Intel released on their Pentium 4 and Xeon-equivalent series of processors. When you use a HT-enabled CPU you will notice in your system profile that it reports you have two processors instead of just one. While you think,”that’s amazing! I have two processors IN ONE!” this is not the case. What HT actually is, technology-wise, is a duplication on certain sections of the processor that handle the state of threads. It does not actually duplicate the main resources on the processor. This allows the operating system to schedule two threads at the same time. A thread is basically an instruction that is given to the CPU and waits for a result."  


"We put our traders and their success first!" 


WOULD YOU BE AWARE OF WHAT ELSE SUCH VENDORS MIGHT BE WILLING TO OVERSTATE AND EXAGGERATE IN ANY ONE OF THEIR SYSTEM'S ADVERTISEMENTS IN ORDER TO CAPTURE A TRADER'S PREMIUM?  PROCESSORS ARE NOT CORES, AND CORES ARE NOT THREADS, AND THREADS ARE MOST CERTAINLY NOT PROCESSORS.  


(Misleading and irrelevant 'multi-thousand MB' quotes of 'active memory or 'video memory' in a GPU COMPLEX lacking the DEDICATED MEMORY needed to support high volumes of streaming and compiling real-time market data across many simple office monitors throughout the course of the trading day without incurring significant financial market 'data drag' additionally, instrumentally and effectively undermine the active advanced professional financial position manager's and serious daytrader's potential skills and efforts!)


So, be careful of system providers and builders who would mis-leadingly hype relatively inexpensive and inconsequentially different CPU(s), and mis-represent any marginal differences and the number of actual processors and cores in the CPU Complex!  And vendors that also hype slower 2TB HDD(s) as though they were any use to the trader with insufficient transfer rates regardless of RPM.  Also be careful of vendors and builders who would fail to install adequate and the more costly higher DEDICATED MEMORY GPU COMPLEX  components (and instead quote irrelevant and misleading 'active memory' or 'video memory' metrics).


LOOK FOR SYSTEMS WITH  

(1)  4 OR 6 OR 8 TRUE PHYSICAL CORES IN EACH PROCESSOR (AND WITH HIGH MB CACHE ALSO)  

(2)  POWERFUL 1.5GB+ DEDICATED MEMORY GPU COMPLEXES

(3)  EXTRA FAST 6GB/SEC TRANSFER RATE SSD AND HDD (REGARDELESS OF HDD RPM OR CACHE) 

(4)  AND ASK THE VENDOR FOR THEIR SYSTEM'S GPU COMPLEX'S ACTUAL MICROSOFT WINDOWS EXPERIENCE INDEX (WEI) "GRAPHICS" COMPONENT AND "GAMING GRAPHICS" COMPONENT (NOT JUST PROCESSOR AND RAM MEMORY COMPONENT) WEI SUBSCORES!"

(5)  And avoid trying to save a few hundred dollars by buying instead what amounts to little more than an overly-hyped multi-monitor office computer system if you are an active daytrader, with thousands, tens of thousand, hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars "open' and exposed and being managed in real-time throughtout the course of each trading day!


"We put our traders and their success first!"    


IN SUMMARY... 

1.  Avoid hyped Dual and Dual Dual Core Processor equipped systems altogether.  

2.  You will likely want an Intel Xeon Hexa Core (six true physical cores), or better, a 2x Quad Core (four true physical cores in both processors ) CPU Complex in your system (eg., an Intel Xeon x5300, e5400, x5500 series equipped CPU Complex with two of these quad core processors), or, at least an "Intel Extreme" Quad Core processing system (an Intel "Q series' processor with 4 cores and 12MB of cache, with "Extreme" actually in the specific Intel Xeon's Processor's Official Intel Title - - not just some hyping adjective in some independent vendor's hyperbole). 

3.  Avoid less than DDR3 graphics cards used in a system's GPU Complex.  Especially cards with extremely low Dedicated Memory per card (256mb, 128mb, etc.)!  A powerful DDR3-DDR5 GPU Complex with 1.5GB or more of Dedicated Memory at minimum should be sought. (And as earlier mention, not one with thousands of MB of irrelevant 'active' or 'graphics' memory, etc.) 

4.  Avoid 3.0gb/sec SSD or HDD system primary drives hosting your MS Windows Operating system.  Find a trading computer with an Extra Fast Primary Drive (6gb/sec transfer rates) to start, whether it is an SSD or HDD, and regardless of HDD RPM or Cache  (an SSD being better).  If the storage drive is also 6gb/sec it can be used immediately as a backup primary drive also housing you MS OS, in case your 'first primary' happens to fail for some reason in the middle of a trading day...

5.  Look for these aforementioned metrics in you trading computer in order to have a genuine 'power tradestation,' and to be genuinely competitive within the today's fast-moving financial markets daytrading arena!


And be extremely cautious of the simple used computer vendors that would also flood the Ebay price listings "search fields" with useless, old, and hardly different legacy office systems, in excessive and systematized 3 and 5 day listing rotations, to crowd out a traders discovery of genuine 'trading computer' providers and their more powerful and significantly better performance/cost system offerings!


And please know we are ready to help you find the best performing, and the most cost-effective trading computer system your trading approach actually needs, within your envisioned real-time market extended visibility display area setup and specific trading goals, and we are genuinely not concerned at all with where we may eventually and actually identify and help you find the best system... for you!  And instead we are just glad we may be able to help!


"We put our traders and their success first!" 


Thank you for visiting each of our PTSG listings too, and reviewing our currently available systems (while supplies last), and for continuing to value their honest and experienced CPU descriptions and great CPU performance and high scores, and their significantly better performing DDR3 AND DDR4 AND DDR5 GPU Complex capabilities, and their extra fast 6gb/sec drives!  


Again, remember, lots of 'monitors of visibility' does not necessarily translate into "lots of live (no GPU dragging) extended trading platform visibility!"  You need a powerful GPU system that can not just display, but can also keep up!  Beware the simple used computer vendor supplying and hyping in their advertised systems unnecessary or misleading "dual core" CPU "benchmarks" coupled with omitting actual information on their system build's extremely inexpensive and outdated GPU complex and its financial markets data streaming and streamed data compiling capabilities (which is where the real cost, and the most significant performance differentials of a trading computer system from a standard multi-monitor office support system actually exists - standard multi-monitor office systems being fine for simple web surfing and spead sheeting)!'  Again, consider asking these vendors to present the actual Windows WEI Graphics performance "SubScores" for their GPU Complex and for their system drives!  


Thank you for being a valued member of the MDPP Precision Pivots and Powertradestations extended global community, serving traders in over 100 countries located around the world... from NY to London to Frankfurt to Moscow to Tell Aviv to Mumbai to Sydney to Hong Kong to Shanghai to Tokyo to Sao Paulo, to Chicago and everywhere in between...
