In the short term some options calculations, some other monte carlo calculations. They're all ridiculously parallel. i.e for a whole lot of client data what does a population of simulated clients look like having had the same trades, one by one. I'd have to do a whole lot of anonymisation to hand it out. At the moment I farm it out over some servers - I was wondering about ways to speed it up hence wondering about the xeon phi. The "really difficult to get working" looks depressing. Maybe I stick it on ebay and wait for Knight's Landing I see Stac are working with someone to have a Julia benchmark - that would be more authoritative. Thanks. Kind Regards, John.
