Wall Street comes to CERN

CERN will host an event on computing for finance on Wednesday, 21 November, 17:00-19:00, in the Main Auditorium.

The event, co-organized by the EGEE project and CERN openlab, brings together four distinguished speakers from the banking industry and IT companies serving financial institutions.

The finance sector is one of the driving forces for the use of distributed or Grid computing for business purposes. The speakers will provide insight into how different types of Grid computing – from local clusters to global networks - are being applied in the financial sector. In particular, the event will encourage discussion on how new developments in Grid computing emerging from the world of science can benefit financial institutions.

The speakers will be Michael Yoo, Managing Director and Head of the Technical Council at UBS, Fred Gedling, Chief Technology Officer at DataSynapse, Adam Vile, Head of Grid, HPC and Technical Computing at Excelian Ltd., and Daniel Egloff, Head of the Financial Engineering Computing Unit, Zürich Cantonal Bank. As well as reviewing the state of the art of high-performance computing in the financial sector, the speakers will describe the use of software and techniques from physics, such as Monte Carlo simulations, in the financial world.

The talks will be followed by a Q&A session and a networking cocktail for the audience and speakers. The event is organized in collaboration with the regional business network rezonance.ch. Participation is free and open to all.

Registration via www.rezonance.ch is essential.
