There are almost no real life algorithms that would be immediately 100% parallel ready. Most of the programming effort is made to convert such algorithm to take maximum possible advantage of parallelism either through hardware or software acceleration. Usually there are some chunks of code that...

China is testing the US using North Korea. China does not like the US near or around territories they consider area of their influence. The real rival is China and military build up is already happening around that area for years. If this is not serious now it will be serious later. Similarly...

This is ET general board by the way. I think that you know the answer and try to get answer to a question that is at the core of parallel programming: what is trivial to do in sequential programming becomes major issue if you try to implement highly parallel algolrithm to a problem that is...

Good luck. I am completly disinterested in matrices/factorization etc and it is not area I am interested in other than knowing how I would approach it if needed. And for that I need technical detail of the hardware which directly translates into how you write your software. Do not be scared...

By definition GPU processing is parallel and asynchronous unless you schedule 1 block with 1 thread doing for i loop. Modern Gpu gives you enough of "indexing" power to address any large data sets. One can schedule up to 1024 threads in 3 dimensional blocks of about 65000 in each dimension...

Nobody jumps with both feet directly to GPU parallelizm without exhausting CPU capabilities first. For GPU bus and memory transfer overhead is exagerrated. I do not have exact timing now but it takes split second to tranfer 1 Gig of data and very often what you need is already sitting on GPU...

Nvidia Cuda (Gpu Computing). To make it simpler rest of it (non-cuda parts) is written in C++. But on the other hand there are ways of using Cuda and .Net and close competitor is C++ AMP but that code cannot be directly compiled in CLR mode.

This is what I meant. I am using .Net extensively for the same reasons including C#. The only advice I have to people who want to be proficient programmers is to get some exposure to C++ to know where things came from. And there is added benefit of being able to implement some procedures using...

It look like a very simple system: 10 years times 250 days of open close is 2500 rows in Excel. Same can be done with any trivial program that would retrieve this information fast. Now where do you plan to get 10 years of data and in what format? 1 day worth of OHLC 1 minute bars takes...

This argument is missing the point because much of the code written in C# will be actually C++ code under the hood likewise TPL and asynchronous programming in C# are wrappers around C++ PPL etc. hence performance is so similar. There is no point arguing about syntax and programming...

No because poor will remain poor in these scheme as always. It is good if you belong to the group that takes over spoils of this legalized robbery.

Add Canada to the list. Recent economic blueprint of Conservative Party wants to use (in unlikely scenario of course) certain bank liabilities (i.e. accounts) to fund banks bailouts. If that is true are they talking about transferring money from savers to shareholders to keep government...

Calls for wealth distribution serve single purpose of wealth transfer from old capital holders to new capital holders using force instead of free market mechanisms. Wealth is never distributed to those who are told to benefit from this and they become victims on par with the intended target...

FDIC is a gimmick so people think they are covered and it only works if one bank in 100 years goes under. Other than that you are on your own. FDIC has almost no money to cover potential liabilities stemming from multiple concurrent bank failures. In brokerage account if you hold assets not...

keep your money in brokerage account not in the bank (which is not bank anymore but rather a bond house and insurance company)

Disagree. Everything after C/C++ is C++ regardless of what it is called and in what syntax it is disguised. Good understanding of C++ concepts should be prerequisite for becoming proficient programmer in any of the modern languages.

Maybe USDA report has more to do with inflation metrics and food prices related to USDA food stamps program rather than grains itself. I see long shadow of Ben over this report.

People fall for this trick for ages. You have to differentiate what liberals say and what they mean. They are not liberal at all and only try to fool people into their vision of liberalizm which is total control of the society by small group of corrupt people. Europe had fair amount of...

First of all market is fragmented and there might be some local rules regarding priority of execution and types of orders being executed (native vs. simulated). In general execution is based on price and time priority. I remember reading about it in detail few years back when I realized...

In fast moving markets this is the best you can do. Your order will be queued anyway behind direct market access participants and with smart routing at IB it may even bounce between exchanges to find someone willing to fill your order.
