DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: The purpose of this workshop is to bring together practitioners, researchers, vendors, and scholars from the complementary fields of computational finance and high performance computing, in order to promote an exchange of ideas, develop common benchmarks and methodologies, discuss future collaborations and develop new research directions. Financial companies increasingly rely on high performance computers to analyze high volumes of financial data, automatically execute trades, and manage risk. =0A=0ARecent years have seen the dramatic increase in compute capabilities across a variety of parallel systems. The systems have also become more complex with trends towards heterogeneous systems consisting of general-purpose cores and acceleration devices. The workshop will enable the dissemination of recent advances and findings in the application of high performance computing to computational finance among researchers, scholars, vendors and practitioners, and will encourage and highlight collaborations between these groups in addressing high performance computing research challenges. =0A=0AThis workshop will produce a refereed proceedings that will be available through the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore (free of charge during and immediately after SC, and free after that to <a href="http://www.sighpc.org/connect/join/" target="_blank">SIGHPC members</a>).=0A=0AMore at: http://ewh.ieee.org/conf/whpcf/
