Not much there either that isn’t covered in the other articles I’ve pointed to.

I remember the last article and at the time I also contacted the guy listed on the IBM website but heard nothing back. Also last time IBM/TD anounced they could do something great without specifying what exactly. In finance more and more companies are talking about supercomputing but very little is published much in contrast to e.g. the Computer-Aided-Engineering world. If this is to defend the 'competitive advantage', then how come SANDIA is nevertheless publishing a lot !? John, thanks for the comment.

When I talked with IBM last year they were publishing a little, but being cautious about it while they figured out what the business is. The HPCwire article I wrote last year has general info about the approach, but obviously not this specific application. At the time TD wouldn't talk in other than general terms because they view this stuff as competitive advantage. I'll bet the same is true today, which probably explains the vagueness.

What are they able to do so much faster? Are they able to calculate correlations instantly, find arbitrage opportunities, calculate VaR on the full portfolio, ... ? And I'm unable to find any papers on this either? I’m very interested in this topic but I find the article really vague. What are they able to do so much faster?
