CAMRADATA Uses The MathWorks Tools

CAMBRIDGE, England, Aug. 5 -- The MathWorks today announced that CAMRADATA Analytical Services, Europe's most comprehensive asset manager database, is now able to accurately and reliably analyse investment fund performance using MATLAB and technical computing products from The MathWorks. These latest solutions from CAMRADATA Analytical Services will help consultants and pension fund managers simulate the performance of investment funds under a range of market conditions.

Using The MathWorks tools, CAMRADATA Analytical Services is able to provide pension consultants and fund managers with a complete solution to help them move from basing fund purchasing decisions and judgements not just on qualitative results but also on overall quantitative performance.

"In today's turbulent financial markets, tools that help a pension consultant to assess risk are essential to safeguard assets," said Steve Butler, managing director, CAMRADATA Analytical Services. "However, building tools to effectively model and analyse these complex markets is very difficult. One of the greatest advantages of basing our solution around MATLAB is that the software can be easily connected to a variety of databases. Users can effectively model investment funds using the latest market data."

In the current economic climate, financial professionals need to be able to fully understand how the various institutions are performing with a high degree of certainty. Tools that model the relationship between various assets and how they link together can provide a clear view of pension fund health and performance. By simulating future performance of funds, consultants are able to minimise the risk of investments and investors can critique the performance of various fund providers, enabling them to make more informed decisions.

"Tools that once supported developments primarily within engineering fields are now being used in finance to model the markets, helping financial firms make decisions based on scientific and statistical approaches," says Sham Ahmed, managing director, The MathWorks UK. "By using The MathWorks products, CAMRADATA Analytical Services had the flexibility to rapidly build a new range of solutions and reduce the time-to-market typically associated with developing new programmes."

NVIDIA Works On CPU Co-Dependency Issues with Kepler GPU

NVIDIA is telling everyone that the GK110, its new Kepler GPU aimed at supercomputing, is all about improving performance per watt. But the other driving theme behind the new architecture is reducing the GPU's reliance on its CPU host. How well it accomplishes both these goals areas could determine the success of the new chip in high performance computing.
