Processing Under Pressure: CPU + GPU Compute

Processing Under Pressure: A Guide to Accelerating Capital Markets Workloads With CPU + GPU Compute

Learn how to identify, assess, and benchmark capital markets workloads that may benefit from selective GPU acceleration.

Capital markets firms are processing larger datasets within tighter operating windows. As workloads expand, compute-heavy operations can consume more of the time available for analysis, end-of-day processing, and reruns.

This ebook explores how CPU and GPU resources can handle different stages of the same workflow. It explains where selective GPU acceleration may add throughput for repeated calculations across large datasets while established q workflows continue to run on CPU.

The guide covers transaction cost analysis, end-of-day processing, backtesting, risk analysis, large q operations, and simulation. It also sets out the questions teams should answer before testing KDB-X GPU Acceleration.

What You’ll Learn

  • How CPU and GPU compute can support different stages of the same workflow
  • Which capital markets workloads are stronger candidates for GPU acceleration
  • How to determine whether compute is the bottleneck
  • What to consider when testing performance on a representative workload
  • How to connect faster processing with a measurable business outcome

Who Should Read This Ebook

This guide is for people responsible for capital markets technology, analytics, and compute infrastructure, including:

  • Chief Technology Officers, Chief Information Officers, and Chief AI Officers
  • Heads of platform, infrastructure, and electronic trading technology
  • Quants, quant developers, and q and kdb+ developers
  • Transaction cost analysis, execution analytics, and risk analytics teams
