The Nvidia GPGPU is a general purpose multicore calculation engine with enormous potential to reduce the costs of large scale parallel compute. It is already a significant element of many HPC clusters in the oil and engineering industries and it has made in roads into specific applications in finance with a number of high profile customers and the recent announcement by Murex of support for its analytics.
However, this is not a one size fits all solution. Care must be taken to architect GPGPUs into your solution. In fact there are instances where the use of GPGPUs makes calculations slower.
Excelian has partnered with Nvidia since 2007 and have trained and experienced consultants who can program and advise on the use of the technology. In particular, we have worked on key POCs, conducted evaluations of the technology and are uniquely placed to support Murex's offering.
