For users with 8gb of ram or less, tips.
GSB is roughly 10 times faster than equivalent products. The speed gains come at the cost of more ram needed.
You might limp on 8gb of ram. Here are some tips.
Reboot the computer before you begin and have other apps closed.
Use only data1, or worst case data2 only for data. Chose ES & SPX. (S&P500 cash)
Don't do any walk forwards until you have stopped GSB finding systems.
Only do single threaded walk forward optimization, and only one WF at once.
Run 1 GSB manager, and hope you get some free works on the GSB cloud.
Otherwise run 1 standalone. You do not have enough ram to run a manager and a worker.
Ram is cheap, so I recommend 64 gb if your a serious user.
This allows for multiple copies of GSB at once.
Depends massively on CPU type, but running 9 GSB at once is 1.6 to 4 times slower than 1 GSB - but the collective speed is much faster.
Fasted was i7, but most lost by running more GSB
Xeon & AMD 1950x were slower, but least affected by running 9 copies.
Speed for 1 GSB on a good i7 at default settings is very roughly 4000 systems per minute.
Subject to availability, you can hire the equivalent to a i9 with 192 GB for US$10 a day. Lesser machine for smaller amounts too.

manager version 44.03 onward's can use the cloud for generating systems and doing walk forward.
Just right click a system, -> wf -> WF to cloud
Good for users now on ram.
