TLDR
The machine itself - Maxwell - its hardware and software environment is described and very early benchmark results from runs of the demonstrators are presented.Abstract:
We present the initial results from the FHPCA Supercomputer project at the University of Edinburgh. The project has successfully built a general-purpose 64 FPGA computer and ported to it three demonstration applications from the oil, medical and finance sectors. This paper describes in brief the machine itself - Maxwell - its hardware and software environment and presents very early benchmark results from runs of the demonstrators.read more

A latency-optimized hybrid network for clustering FPGAs (abstract only)
Trevor Bunker,Steven Swanson +1 more
TL;DR: An FPGA-based system with a memory capacity of 512 GB from a collection of 32 Virtex-5 FPGAs spread across 8 enclosures is constructed that combines inter-enclosure high-speed serial links and wide, single-ended intra-enclosed on-board traces with a network topology that optimizes for latency and bandwidth for small packets.

The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities
Fischer Black,Myron S. Scholes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical valuation formula for options is derived, based on the assumption that options are correctly priced in the market and it should not be possible to make sure profits by creating portfolios of long and short positions in options and their underlying stocks.
