<title><![CDATA[XtremeData and Altera Demonstrate the Power of Intel® QuickAssist Technology and the XtremeRNG Library at the Spring Intel Developer Forum.]]></title>
<link>http://automatedtrader.net/algo-trading-news-1189.xhtm</link>
<description><![CDATA[April 2nd 2008 - At the Intel® Developer Forum (IDF), now  in progress in Shanghai, XtremeData™, Altera®, and Intel® Corporation (Nasdaq: INTC) are demonstrating acceleration of a full double-precision floating point simulation of a Monte Carlo financial simulation analysis. This demonstration for the first time combines the Intel® QuickAssist Technology, Altera’s high performance Stratix® III FPGA family, XtremeData’s XD2000 family of In-Socket Accelerators (ISA)™, and the new XtremeRNG™  library of building blocks for random number generation (RNG) to significantly accelerate financial and scientific Monte Carlo applications.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[FPGA Acceleration of European Options Pricing]]></title>
<link>http://automatedtrader.net/algorithmic-trading-online-1194.xhtm</link>
<description><![CDATA[Today, Monte Carlo (MC) methods are widely used in finance to price derivative securities. In this approach, the value of the option is expressed in terms of an integral of very high dimensionality. Monte Carlo methods are used to estimate the value of this integral by brute force. These calculations consume a significant portion of the run-time and energy of financial data centers. Therefore, we present a hardware accelerator that computes the price of a European call option via MC. In our approach, after some initial setup, the entire MC simulation is performed by the FPGA. We demonstrate performance in excess of 250&times; that of a modern 3 GHz multi-core processor. By Nathan Woods, XtremeData, Inc.
