Financial firms are continually searching for powerful computing solutions that can handle securities and portfolio pricing and hedging, risk management, and end-of-day processing. The objective is to improve the precision, be able to add more variables and to provide results faster while ensuring accuracy.

Applying SIMtone's ASPEED software enables companies access to critical information faster thereby enabling more aggressive and accurate real-time pricing, hedging and volatility grid calculations by trading operations and market makers. This ability to make well informed decisions such as the amount of capital reserves to set aside leads to increased returns, gives Financial Services firms a major competitive advantage.

SIMtone ASPEED offers a unique approach to application acceleration in that it offers a virtual application grid that ensures minimal if any application changes, provides predictable run times, makes the application distributable and automatically self-healing. As such the SIMtone ASPEED engine ensures that the application can leverage the underlying processing configurations such as dual-processor, dual-core, clusters and grid fabrics such as provided by DataSynapse and Platform.  (Case Studies)

For the grid and virtualized users SIMtone's ASPEED application-based approach uniquely compliments existing and future configuration deployment while adding additional controlled responsiveness with real-time calculation balancing, stall detection and recovery for Monte Carlo- and Tree-based models.

For the cluster users SIMtone's ASPEED approach and product suite ensure  the shortest run times and optimum real-time workload distribution with automatic stall/failure recovery.

For work group users the Windows Desktops can be fully exploited (dual-processor, dual-core and hiper thread to deliver predictable and optimal responses.

SIMtone ASPEED solutions include the ASPEED APIs for C, C++, Java, VBA, EXCEL, MS ACCESS and FORTRAN applications in most cases the SIMtone ASPEED wrapper can be applied without changing the application logic and many cases without and code changes.
