Financial companies increasingly rely on high performance computers to analyze high volumes of financial data, automatically execute trades, and manage risk. =0A=0ARecent years have seen the dramatic increase in compute capabilities across a variety of parallel systems. The systems have also become more complex with trends towards heterogeneous systems consisting of general-purpose cores and acceleration devices. The workshop will enable the dissemination of recent advances and learnings in the application of high performance computing to computational finance among researchers, scholars, vendors and practitioners, and to encourage and highlight collaborations between these groups in addressing high performance computing research challenges.=0A=0AWorkshop website: http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~mfdixon/whpcf12/ SUMMARY:5th Workshop on High Performance Computational Finance PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook MIMEDIR//EN VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20121112T160000Z DTEND:20121113T003000Z LOCATION:250-AB DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: The purpose of this workshop is 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, develop common benchmarks and methodologies, discuss future collaborations and develop new research directions.
