Presentation: "GPUs in FINANCE"
Track:
Hardware Acceleration Today
Time: Tuesday 16:50 - 17:50 Location: Robinson/Whitman
Abstract:
GPUs are finding wide application in finance, from real-time risk to pricing of complex deals. GPUs are also tackling many of the "Big Data" problems in finance. This talk will first give an overview of where and how GPUs are being used throughout finance, and will then focus on one specific technique that has a strong affinity for many problems in finance: Monte-Carlo on GPUs. |
