Parallel Methods in Financial Services for Intel Xeon Phi
November 26, 2015 by
Basic optimization techniques that include an understanding of math functions and how to simplify can go a long way towards better performance. “When optimizing for a parallel SIMD system such as the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor, it is also important to make sure that the results match the scalar system. Using vector data may cause parts of the computer program to be re-written, so that the compiler can generate vector code.”

“Two components of ITAC, the Intel Trace Collector and the Intel Trace Analyzer can be used to understand the performance and bottlenecks of a Monte Carlo simulation. When each of the strike prices are distributed to both the Intel Xeon cores the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor, the efficiency was about 79%, as the coprocessors can calculate the results much faster than the main CPU cores.”
