Latest Press Releases


For Release: April 17, 2008

HPC Platform demonstrates ultra-low latency market data processing.

HPC Platform has been working since 2005 on ultra-low latency market data processing, for feed-handling and algorithm-trading, as well as complex financial products valuation acceleration.

Working closely with Altera, HPC Platform has designed a unique FPGA based hardware system optimized for these applications.

Now, thanks to work conducted with leading investment banks, HPC Platform can announce that its systems, using full hardware processing, has achieved an outstanding performance in market data processing with a latency of 1.1 to 2.0 microseconds (see below).

For Release: December 17, 2007

HPC Platform demonstrates a very fast, double precision, european basket option pricing engine.

HPC Platform has been working since 2005 on ultra-low latency market data processing, for feed-handling and algorithm-trading, as well as complex financial products valuation acceleration.

Working closely with Altera, HPC Platform has designed a unique FPGA based hardware system optimized for these applications.

On a benchmark conducted with leading investment banks, an HPC Platform system has been able to compute, in double precision, the price of a basket option composed of 3 underlyings at the record speed of 1400 Millions simulation paths/s. For instance the computation takes 715 microseconds for 1M simulation paths.

This performance results from the association of a dedicated hardware with specialized compilers and libraries.

Working closely with Altera, HPC Platform has designed a unique FPGA based hardware system optimized for these applications.

On a benchmark conducted with leading investment banks, an HPC Platform system has been able to compute, in double precision, the price of an european option at the record speed of 4000 Millions simulation paths/s. For instance the computation takes 250 microseconds for 1M simulation paths.

This performance results from the association of a dedicated hardware with specialized compilers and libraries.
