Financial firms face increased challenges in today's market place. During a trading week, increasingly complicated instruments are requiring exponentially more computation to value and assess risk more and more often.

In the search for ever increasing compute availability, data-center managers turn to faster and hotter cluster nodes, only to run against the limits of existing power and cooling infrastructure.

Maxeler provides order-of-magnitude acceleration in computational risk and valuation algorithms; this is accomplished by working with Quantitative Analysts to accelerate analytical and Monte Carlo techniques by customizing the compute hardware to the tasks at hand. Customization coupled with a reduction in power and cooling, provides game-changing speed of computation while fitting comfortably within existing infrastructure limits. An overnight run can now happen in less than an hour in the afternoon the day before.

Today Maxeler's order-of-magnitude acceleration systems run real-time risk / scenario analysis in markets such as Credit Derivatives, FX, Equities and Interest Rates, enabling better decision making on the desk.
