KAAPI winner of V GRIG PLUGTEST 2008

 
 


After the 2006 Plugtest and the 2007 Plugtest, our team has won the V Grid Plugtest.


This year the challenging application is the Super Quant Monte Carlo Challenge, which is an option pricing application for pricing high dimensional European options.


Our team has developed :

  1. GCM deployment tools that allows to deploy our middleware Kaapi using infrastructure descriptor and application descriptor. Tools are based on TakTuk to spawn processes on clusters through gateway

  2. Sequential code for MC simulation of European Option Pricing with Vanillia and Barrier payoff as required by the rules of the plugtest

  3. Parallel version for MC simulation that allows to overlap most of the communication delay by computation.


 

Team: Kaapi/Taktuk

  1. sequential code for option pricing using MC MonteCarlo

  1. parallelization of the MC code

  1. deployment tools for GCM standard

  1. expert for the mathematics of the problem

The contest

  1. -description of the rules

  2. -more information about the problem
