I hear that some Hedge Funds and Institutional Investors are going beyond HFT trading by doing Parallel programming of heterogeneous systems using power of CPU, GPU and FPGA for ultimate ultra low latency trading system. This system enqables them to complete the trading process in couple of micro seconds, till date its the fast system developed by the traders. The more faster the system gets, it can generate more trades in a day thus generating more revenue for the company, I guess thats the reason we see market wide fluctuation now a days. While SEC and FINRA are working hard investigating suspicious market activity and demading secret high-frequency trading computer codes from HFT trading firms, Hedge Funds, Institutional Investors and other HFT trading firms worldwide are busy developing robust trading system that does not care about company’s fundamentals, it just does trade exclusively on down ticks and up ticks. The Novel System is designed to make a penny of profit but with several millions of trades per terminal and 100′s of such HFT Algos/Codes systems worldwide… It’s your Guess!

First it was FPGA technology now its time for (GPU programming / high performance computing HPC) Graphical Processing Unit supercomputing technologies. GPU supercomputing is perfect for Trading Systems for its ability to speed up many types of financial calculations. GPU (CUDA) supercomputing technologies has made significant inroads into financial analytics and risk arena what looks like a silent revolution on Wall Street. Only Institutional Banks / Hedge Funds with financial capability and technology knowhow are currently using GPU (CUDA) supercomputing technologies for real-time financial trading and risk.
The power of high speed GPU programming gives traders ability to trades almost in real-time, thus it pays to be there first and ahead of the trading game. For more info on GPU/CUDA computing please visit Nvidia’s developer zone
Will FPGA & GPU technologies live the hype in finance? So, what can GPUs do now and in future as a trading technology? And where do we go from here?
