Hi guys.

I don't understand anything about computing at this level of detail, but I noticed that WealthLab is using little CPU during this Indicator Profiler process.
Is this normal?

Strange, I posted 2 times, in my computer, the image is pretty clear, but at site, not so much.

Anyway, the CPU total usage is 28.8% and the memory load is 52%

How many CPUs / Cores are there?

The Indicator Profiler needs to read data (prices, dates, volumes) and call all the indicator calculation routines. It is pretty difficult to balance things in a way that all CPUs are busy while the memory reads are fast enough.

In modern PCs, with many CPUs / Cores it is very hard to keep all CPUs busy with a single program because memory and especially disk access will slow everything down.

The image is okay, just distorted to fit in the pane. You can see the full size image by right clicking and opening it in its own tab.

Here's a worthwhile discussion of the matter -https://askleo.com/why_wont_my_program_use_more_than_25_of_the_cpu/

Bottom line, a 25% CPU utilization means that the process isn't using parallelization.

Just to add another data point, here's my experience:

Hi Cone.

I will certainly read the article you posted.

However, this problem would happen with the whole WealthLab software, right?

Because when I ran NeuroLab it showed another behavior

Additionally, the Indicator Profiler task does not advance, it does not finish. I think there might be something wrong. Could it be something related to the database?

Not right. Some pieces do use parallel processing, Exhaustive Optimizations for example. There's a good chance NeuroLab does too.

Re: Profiler not advancing
Some indicators are very long running and should probably be deselected. Are you using the default selection? Try running on a smaller subset of indicators.

For the record, Indicator Profiler does use parallel processing.

Indeed it does. When I run it with just the Oscillators selected, the CPU ramps from about 20% to 80% utilization and finishes with 10 years of Nasdaq 100 data in about 3 seconds.

Yeah, I made a wide but careful selection here and the calculation was pretty fast.
