Characteristics of financial services HPC workloads in the cloud
This blog post will explore the technical attributes of computationally demanding high performance computing (HPC) workloads within the financial services sector. By examining the key characteristics of your workloads, we will guide you through a decision tree approach to help determine the most suitable HPC platform for the cloud – whether it be a commercial vendor solution, open-source option, or a fully cloud-native implementation.
Enhancing Equity Strategy Backtesting with Synthetic Data: An Agent-Based Model Approach – part 2
Developing robust investment strategies requires thorough testing, but relying solely on historical data can introduce biases and limit your insights. Learn how synthetic data from agent-based models can provide an unbiased testbed to systematically evaluate your strategies and prepare for future market scenarios. Part 2 covers implementation details and results.
