Starting tomorrow, hundreds of financial technology vendors will descend on the New York Hilton to showcase all the latest, greatest, most-comprehensive, all-in-one, front-to-back, solve-all-your-problems-and-do-your-laundry-at-the-same-time solutions you could ever hope to find.
But of everything you’ll see at SIFMA, you won’t find anything quite like what’s at booth 1837: the new turbocharged Numerix running on Microsoft HPC Server and HPC Services for Excel. When it comes to pricing and risk computations for complex derivative portfolios, this thing is breaking speed records!
(Of course, our partners will be showing some exciting new things, too, and we encourage you to visit them as well!)
We’ve been working with Microsoft’s experts at the High Performance Computing division to offer new ways of deploying Numerix analytics on the grid. By combining the distributed-computing power of HPC with Numerix’s optimized algorithms, you get pricing and risk calculations for complex portfolios that are orders-of-magnitude faster than anything else currently out there.
Numerix's HPC-enabled solutions allow you to:
- Distribute and run multiple instances of Excel-based computations for entire portfolios
- Use the Job Scheduler for asynchronous queuing and execution of report-generation jobs, with support for batch, interactive and service-oriented applications
- Manage rapid large-scale deployments with built-in diagnostics
- Easily integrate and manage compute nodes with the HPC Cluster Manager
And keep in mind that speed and accuracy go hand-in-hand: when you’re using a solution that gives you this kind of speed, it’s possible to utilize advanced simulation methods that might otherwise have been too time-consuming to be practical.
Stop by our booth (#1837) for a real-time demo of Numerix CrossAsset XL and Numerix Portfolio, and be sure to enter our daily drawing for a top-of-the-line iPad.
