The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Reduce overnight VaR wall-clock by 4x via shared-memory parallelism while preserving bit-near numerical equivalence with the scalar baseline.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply work-span analysis to identify the parallelism axis
- Implement work-stealing scheduling with a real framework (TBB)
- Design lock-free reductions that respect numerical reproducibility
- Benchmark with strong-scaling efficiency, not just wall-clock
