has anybody tried distributed computing for backtesting? I am thinking of NVIDIA GPU computing, which is quite accessible on desktop... Anybody had experience? How does it compare to distributed computing via building a network (the maintaininence of several computers is really troublesome)...
This is really bizarre. Didn't this thread have several responses? I responded, and yet it is gone! Either I am in the Matrix, or ET has database problems.
No, this mizhael character has a habit of cross-posting to multiple forums. The other thread he started with the same post is in the automated trading forums.
Don't want to sound like an asshole but your serial thread-starting habit is pretty annoying. why don't you focus on generating some decent trading strategy ideas before you worry about high-end trading and backtesting computing infrastructure? if the link below is anything to go by, you would be wasting your money on a distributed computing system. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=164231
