Option Pricing
Authors: Koch Supply & Trading Andrew Shin, Market Risk Manager of Koch Supply & Trading, achieves significant performance increases on option pricing algorithms using AccelerEyes software to accelerate his code with GPUs. Andrew says, "My buddy and I are, at best, novice programmers and we couldn't imagine having to figure out how to code all this in CUDA." But he found AccelerEyes software to be straight-forward. With these results, he says he can see AccelerEyes software and GPUs populating Koch's mark-to-futures cube, which contains its assets, simulations, and simulated asset prices.

GPU Computing in Automated Trader
Authors: Automated Trader The Q1 2012 issue of Automated Trader contains an excellent Mashup piece reviewing software for algorithmic trading. The article provides a wonderful glimpse into the 1-2 month adventure of Andy Webb, Automated Trader.s Founder, and Wrecking Crew building a fast trading platform from several technologies. The full trading platform they built was quite extensive. The part that caught our eye was the core computational component of the pipeline. That component involved permuting 1,000 potential pairs with cointegration tests for 350 time windows on each potential pair. Last Updated: 28 Feb 2012 |
