  • Abstract
    This paper explores the effectiveness of using the CBE platform for Value-at-Risk (VaR) calculations. Specifically, it focuses on the design, optimization and evaluation of pricing European and American stock options across Monte-Carlo VaR scenarios. This analysis is performed on two distinct platforms with CBE processors, i.e., IBM Q22 blade server and the Playstation3 gaming console.
