The worldwide market for High Performance Computing was worth $11.6 billion last year and will grow to $15 billion by 2011, according to IDC. Financial Services will be a major component of that growth as Wall Street accelerates its leverage of HPC and low latency technologies for pre-trade analysis, algorithmic trading, portfolio modeling and risk management applications.

“Impacted by the credit crisis, capital markets firms are aligning their HPC resources toward uncovering and managing risk” - Craig Saint-Amour, U.S. Capital Markets Industry Solutions Director, Microsoft.
