NVIDIA Announces Initial Results of Directives-Based GPU Computing Program

C vs C++ by Linus Torvalds

I see a lot of use, not directly though. New tools and addons for IDE will improve development. In VS 2010 refactoring, intellisense, etc. is so much better in C# compared to C++...

Microsoft-RoslynA new compiler project in C# and VB. Very interesting. Is there anything similar for Java or C++?

Can you list some good books on Option trading? Covering different spreads, greeks, strategies etcPS: The book need NOT discuss option pricing(BSM etc).

Thanks. I will look into them.

<r>How can I convert R scripts to standalone executable?

What is martingale? semi-martingale? super-martingale?is covered call exactly same as short naked put?

<t>Nothing wrong with goto per se. But if one wants to strictly follow structured programming model - then goto should be avoided. In that case its not only goto but anything that breaks program structure should be avoided. For example - multiple return statements in a single function. Sometimes bre...

I don't know if this answers your question, but have a look at openCL. It supports heterogeneous computing. Which means number crunching can be done on GPU and logic/control part can be done on CPU.

Its not possible.MT has a huge period and the sub sequence occurs many times. Knowing only X and Y it is not possible to determine Y+1.

Slightly off topic...How does George Marsaglia's CMWC4096() compare with MT? in terms of speed, space and randomness? Has anyone used it? (it is supposed to have massive periods!)

@All - Thanks for the help!@edouard - Excellent blog! Looking forward to more articles.

Seems like an old, known problem. But I could not find any relevant help on google.I get "unknown microsoft compiler" error when I try to build Quantlib in Visual Studio 2010. Any work around? ps: I would prefer not to go back to older Visual Studio versions.

<t>Thanks. But I still need some clarification - QuoteOrder matters because you want a low-discrepancy sequence; basically you want about as much points in all subsets of the same size over [0,1]^d (this statement is a simplification of course).Suppose I fix my number of steps to some constant value...
