We discuss the problem of pricing Asian options in Black-Scholes model using CUDA on a graphics processing unit. We survey some of the issues with GPU programming and discuss code design and memory usage. We show that by using a Quasi Monte Carlo simulation with a geometric Asian option as a control variate, it is possible to get prices that are accurate to 2E-4 within a fiftieth of a second.
