Speeding Up Algorithms: When Parallel Computing and GPUs do and don't accelerate

Files and slides from the presentation of the same name.

You are now following this Submission

This archive contains all of the files for the webinar "Speeding Up Algorithms: When Parallel Computing and GPUs do and don't accelerate" delivered at the 2013 MathWorks Finance Virtual Conference.

It consists of three main components:

1. "Speeding Up Algorithms.pdf": the slide deck
2. "MVAR": The folder containing the Marginal Value at Risk demo. The script file "MVAR_demo.m" can be run in cell mode; it refers to the other functions.
3. "Variable_Annuity": The folder containing the variable annuity demo. The script file "GMWBscript.m" can be run in cell mode; it refers to the other functions.
