Here we present a comparative insight of the performance of the Heston stochastic volatility model on different acceleration platforms. This model was tested against a MacBook’s CPU, a Techila grid server hosted on Microsoft’s Azure cloud, a GPU node hosted by Boston Ltd, and an FPGA node hosted by Maxeler Technologies Ltd. Temporal data was collected and compared against the CPU baseline to provide quantified acceleration benefits from all platforms.
