Monte Carlo grid for financial risk management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to reduced profitability, increased price competition, and strengthened regulation, financial institutions in all countries are now upgrading their financial analytics based on Monte Carlo simulation. In this article, we propose three key technologies, i.e., data protection, integrity, and deadline scheduling, which are indispensable to build a secure PC-grid for financial risk management. We constructed a PC-grid by scavenging unused CPU cycles of about 50 PCs under real office environment, and obtained the 80 times speed-up, namely, for 100,000 Monte Carlo scenarios, 95 h computation on a single server is reduced to 70 min. Finally, we discuss future research directions. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Grid: A location dependent intensity modulated radiotherapy for bulky tumors
Background: An effective method for management of large and bulky malignant tumors. This treatment modality is also known as Specially Fractionated Radiation Therapy (SFRT). In this treatment technique a grid block converted the open radiation field into a series of pencil beams. Dosimetric characteristics of an external beam grid radiation field have been investigated using experimental and Mo...
متن کاملAccelerated Option Pricing in Multiple Scenarios
This paper covers a massive acceleration of Monte-Carlo based pricing method for financial products and financial derivatives. The method is applicable in risk management settings, where a financial product has to be priced under a number of potential future scenarios. Instead of starting a separate nested Monte Carlo simulation for each scenario under consideration, the new method covers the u...

متن کاملEfficient Simulation of Financial Stress Testing Scenarios with Suppes-Bayes Causal Networks
The most recent financial upheavals have cast doubt on the adequacy of some of the conventional quantitative risk management strategies, such as VaR (Value at Risk), in many common situations. Consequently, there has been an increasing need for verisimilar financial stress testings, namely simulating and analyzing financial portfolios in extreme, albeit rare scenarios. Unlike conventional risk ...
