Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Seventh Workshop on High Performance Computational Finance at the SC'14 International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, which is being held on Sunday the 16th of November in New Orleans. We are happy to be back in The Big Easy, which was also the site for our Third Workshop.

When we started WHPCF back in 2008, we knew that financial companies were increasingly relying on high performance computers to analyze high volumes of financial data, automatically execute trades, and manage risk. We created the workshop with the purpose to bring together practitioners, researchers, vendors, and scholars from the complementary fields of computational finance and high performance computing, in order to promote an exchange of ideas, discuss future collaborations and develop new research directions. The SC series of conferences seemed the perfect environment to locate our workshop, and we were not disappointed. We have been extremely happy with the quality and reach of our workshop throughout the years, and we hope that it will be no different in this 2014 Workshop.

GPU implementation of finite difference solvers

This paper discusses the implementation of one-factor and three-factor PDE models on GPUs. Both explicit and implicit time-marching methods are considered, with the latter requiring the solution of multiple tridiagonal systems of equations.

A systematic methodology for analyzing closed-form Heston pricer regarding their accuracy and runtime

Calibration methods are the heart of modeling any financial process. While for the Heston model (semi) closed-form solutions exist for calibrating to simple products, their evaluation involves complex functions and infinite integrals. So far these ...

Speeding up large-scale financial recomputation with memoization

Quantitative financial analysis requires repeated computations of the same functions with the same arguments when prototyping trading strategies; many of these functions involve resource intensive operations on large matrices. Reducing the number of ...

A portable and fast stochastic volatility model calibration using multi and many-core processors

Financial markets change precipitously and on-demand pricing and risk models must be constantly recalibrated to reduce risk. However, certain classes of models are computationally intensive to robustly calibrate to intraday prices-stochastic volatility ...

On the viability of microservers for financial analytics

Energy consumption and total cost of ownership are daunting challenges for Datacenters, because they scale disproportionately with performance. Datacenters running financial analytics may incur extremely high operational costs in order to meet ...

Exploring irregular time series through non-uniform fast Fourier transform
Pages 37–44

Most popular analysis tools on time series require the data to be taken at uniform time intervals. However, the real-world time series, such as those from financial markets, are typically taken at irregular time intervals. It is a common practice to ...

Many-core programming with Asian option pricing
Pages 45–52

In this paper, we discuss the problem of pricing one exotic option, the strong path dependent Asian option using the Black--Scholes model and compare how the pricing algorithm can map into different many-core architectures and achieve equally impressive ...
