Parallel computing with graphics processing units for high-speed Monte Carlo simulation of photon migration.
General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) is shown to dramatically increase the speed of Monte Carlo simulations of photon migration. In a standard simulation of time-resolved photon migration in a semi-infinite geometry, the proposed methodology executed on a low-cost graphics processing unit (GPU) is a factor 1000 faster than simulation performed on a single standard proc...
متن کاملPricing derivatives on graphics processing units using Monte Carlo simulation
This paper is about using the existing Monte Carlo approach for pricing European and American contracts on a state-of-the-art graphics processing unit (GPU) architecture. First, we adapt on a cluster of GPUs two different suitable paradigms of parallelizing random number generators, which were developed for CPU clusters. Because in financial applications, we request results within seconds of si...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Option Pricing With Graphics Processing Units
Monte Carlo methods are common practice in financial engineering for a wide variety of problems, one being option pricing. Large clusters of computers are used to run these calculations. Growing volumes and complexity of work that needs to be performed as well as strict requirements for fast responses makes for a pressing demand for high performance computing. We present a prototype implementat...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of photon migration in a cloud computing environment with MapReduce.
Monte Carlo simulation is considered the most reliable method for modeling photon migration in heterogeneous media. However, its widespread use is hindered by the high computational cost. The purpose of this work is to report on our implementation of a simple MapReduce method for performing fault-tolerant Monte Carlo computations in a massively-parallel cloud computing environment. We ported th...
متن کاملUsing graphics processing units to accelerate perturbation Monte Carlo simulation in a turbid medium.
We report a fast perturbation Monte Carlo (PMC) algorithm accelerated by graphics processing units (GPU). The two-step PMC simulation [Opt. Lett. 36, 2095 (2011)] is performed by storing the seeds instead of the photon's trajectory, and thus the requirement in computer random-access memory (RAM) becomes minimal. The two-step PMC is extremely suitable for implementation onto GPU. In a standard s...
