It is difficult to make hard and fast rules regarding hardware, because each iFIX configuration is so different. However, when it comes to hardware, the following guidelines are true:
- With hardware, more is better. More memory, more processing speed, and better graphic cards can all help to improve performance.
- Distribute the other applications your system is running.
- Try to minimize the amount of CPU used in steady state.
These methods of optimizing your system's hardware, as well as some additional system-wide optimizations, are discussed in the following subsections:
- Upgrading Your Hardware
- Distributing Additional Applications
- Minimizing the Amount of CPU Used in Steady State
- Evaluating Network Performance
