motivewave and linux performance improvements

[kally]

I finally did a test of @Hermann solution and while I could not measure a big difference for loading the daily chart on ES or the 2m chart on Gold, the loading of the 2kt chart of ES was reduced from 14s with the original settings to around 7s with Hermann's run.sh and no additional values in the startup.ini.
Thank you very much for that!
Still not sure why it takes that long in the first place for MW, even 7s are not that fast

I am using MW on Ubuntu 24.04, and I could not get it running on GPU.
I upgraded the NVIDIA driver up to nvidia-driver-570 using `cuda-drivers` installation as explained in Docs. But the best part I found on that page was that if running Gnome or KDE, any application can be selected to run on the discrete GPU directly from the desktop by right-clicking on the application icon. Now MW is using the GPU!
Hope this helps someone.

Hi, could you please help me ? Trying to run MV on Linux (Ubuntu 25.04), but I still have issue with mouse. Attaching 2 logs:
original,txt - original launch file is working properly, but with mouse issue
new.txt - whole bash file from post https://support.motivewave.com/foru...linux-performance-improvements.765/post-10093

With new file, it crash during startup. Thank You for any help.

I would advise you to start with minimal changes (to your original startup-script) and test again.
Simply follow the 'second edit' from my earlier post:

Hi guys, are these modifications to the run scripts still required?

On my side (Linux): yes

Recently switched to linux and this thread has been very helpful with fixing some of the issues (mouse scrolling, specifically) - thanks for that! I do wonder if anyone still experiences motivewave to have lower fps so to speak, compared to windows? Specifically when looking at the volume imprint or the time and sales I can see that the 'refresh rate' of it seems slower than on windows. Can anyone relate to that? Not super big deal, but wonder if that's something that can be improved. I already implemented all the suggested in this thread (max vram,heap,threads,etc).

Also noticed during RTH Open (e.g. on NQ) when it's volatile I get the entire motivewave screen blinking black for a split second, then back to normal, which happens semi frequently, to the point where it's a bit annoying. Anyone else experienced that?

I only use MW very rarely on a non-linux system, so I don't have enough datapoints to compare the 'refresh rates', I'm afraid.
I do however see the occasional 'black blink', but am not sure whether this is due to high volatility or not. I will keep my eye open for that and report back if I find anything of use
