how to use quantlib to do research on IBM CELL processor

Tony Frank
Hi,
I would like to do research about quantlib or financial compuation on multicore
systems. And I have a  Playstation3.

I plan to do parallization on the library functions of quantlib because
I am in financial market and want to get a job in the area.

I plan to implement the parallized functions on PS3 and try to find out
the new CELL programming models or algorithms. Or, new mechanisms about
thread management and DMA process. And then , extend the results to
general multicore systems.

Anyone has some ideas or advices on this is welcome !!!

thanks !!!

There is a workshop being held on using multicore/parallel hardware for finance applications, scheduled for October 2007.
 
Details at www.quanttrain.com.
 
Hope this helps!

Re: how to use quantlib to do research on IBM CELLprocessor

Toyin Akin

Hi,

You will have to be carefull which functions you call and how you set up
your environment because the library is not completely thread safe. There
are a few static/global variables/objects being used in various places.

One of these variables I know you can enable it for use in a threaded
environment (evalDate), but the others I'm not too sure.

Best Regards,
Toyin Akin.
