Fintech company MetaQuotes has recently upgraded the entire MQL5 Cloud Network infrastructure to enhance its performance.
New servers were added and existing ones were upgraded for better agent registration and task distribution. The network now operates through seven points located worldwide. Improved load balancing enables more efficient task management and distribution. The optimized geographical coverage has reduced network latency during calculations.
The total network bandwidth was increased to 60 Gbps. The network ensures fast data transmission between traders and agents performing tasks. The bandwidth of each network node is displayed next to its name in the strategy tester.
Improved historical data cache. With the optimized “hot cache” on servers, agents receive required testing data faster, which in turn speeds up the overall testing process for traders.
Slow agents have been excluded. The network no longer accepts agents running under virtualization systems. This restriction has been introduced to avoid calculation slowdowns caused by dishonest participants.
Currently, the network includes approximately 50,000 fast and active agents, enabling the efficient execution of very complex and time-consuming computations. You can even conduct scientific research using the strategy tester’s special fast mathematical mode and OpenCL support.
Since its launch, MQL5 Cloud Network has completed more than 16 billion tasks. This figure shows how many times users have tested their trading strategies. Every day, the network enables algorithmic traders to run calculations on tens of thousands of computers worldwide with just a few clicks, without having to wait for results on a local machine.
