In the post-2008 credit crisis world, risk evaluation by financial institutions has steadily increased in demand and complexity. Where large banks once performed risk analysis on a monthly basis, they’re now performing these calculations at least daily, if not in near-real-time. Cray makes this possible with the embedded Aries network, which eliminates the performance and latency issues of more traditional “fat tree” approaches, as well as the DataWarp™ applications I/O accelerator which effectively removes data access bottlenecks. See the infographic below for a look at Cray’s approach compared to legacy approaches – and to understand the difference in value.
