SIMtone' ASPEED
cuts run times by 500% with same number of CPUs
Credit Risk group significantly improves the
timeliness of their Portfolio Credit Risk and VaR
analysis. The group saw a 4 to 5 times response time
improvements applying the same number of CPUs used
on their Unix-based SMP configuration with a
significantly less expensive Intel-based Linux
configuration by migrating from leveraging
SIMtone’s
ASPEED. The SIMtone ASPEED runt-time software takes care
of the data movement related aspects and provides
ongoing adaptive response time optimization to
ensure linear scalability as transaction and data
volume increase enabling them to rapidly move their
existing multi-thread applications to the grid
environment without making application logic
changes.

Major Wall Street Capital Risk Group
improves Exotics Analysis
SIMtones ASPEED provides immediate run
time reductions
Using SIMtone ASPEED
enables the Capital Markets Risk Group to
support their expanding business with faster
analysis calculations and off-load some of their
existing time-sensitive model runs to a
significantly less expensive and scalable Linux,
Intel-based blade server
platform. SIMtone's ASPEED enabled this group
to use their existing scheduler to selectively
move runs to a small very affordable grid
environment. This enabled them to increase the
number of paths and number of runs by exploiting
the run time reductions realized. They were able
to demonstrate significantly more control of
their computing costs by leveraging just-in-time
horizontal capacity after seeing how
ASPEED provides predictable linear run
time scalability. Even a small 8-blade
configuration cut their complex Monte
Carlo-based simulation run times by a factor of
10.
