Financial companies increasingly rely on high performance computers to analyze high volumes of financial data, automatically execute trades, and manage risk. =0A=0ARecent years have seen the dramatic increase in compute capabilities across a variety of parallel systems. The systems have also become more complex with trends towards heterogeneous systems consisting of general-purpose cores and acceleration devices. The workshop will enable the dissemination of recent advances and findings in the application of high performance computing to computational finance among researchers, scholars, vendors and practitioners, and will encourage and highlight collaborations between these groups in addressing high performance computing research challenges.
