Re: FPGA (field programmable gate array)

Hi,
 
I have just begun a project to run a proof-of-concept of a quant algorithm running on an Altera Stratix-II GX FPGA, which has 192 multipliers on-chip. It's technically quite challenging, to say the least, but the returns are potentially huge. People talk about seeing performance speed-ups of between ten and a thousand-fold. I'd be happy to achieve 100x increase in throughput of the algorithm that I'm porting to FPGA. (A European Lookback Call).
 
Anyone else looking at this technology?

Hi all,

More and More companies are talking about implement the QA lib onto FPGA infrastructure. Does anyone have some thought about this and want to share with us?

Thanks
