A Fortune 300 Financial Company located in the North East USA ported their CPU code (C/C++) to CUDA and this enabled them to speed up the necessary financial calculations. Their primary objective was to reduce the time taken to run this code. Before porting to CUDA, they required ten to twelve hours to run the entire code. After porting to CUDA, they were able to do the same work in about 30 minutes. The Client has several C/C++ programmers in their team and they trained many of them to use CUDA. Their code used CUDA to speed up a calculation using Monte Carlo methods to analyze various scenarios in their hedge-fund projection system (HPS). The major portion of their calculations was …
Case Study: A Fortune 200 Insurance Company
A Fortune 200 Insurance Company located on the West coast was using a third-party, closed-source application to make inferences about future market conditions in order to hedge their investments. In order to carry out calculations over millions of possible scenarios, they were using a small cluster consisting of 1,300 hyperthreaded CPU cores in blade servers. In the near term, they projected that their business needs would grow by a factor of two and they were near capacity with their existing system. Mission The Client hired ArrayFire to conduct a comprehensive audit of their system to access its performance in nine key areas: The technological platform – a high-level overview of their system, example execution flows, discussions of shortcomings of their …
