High Throughput Scheduling for Financial Services with YellowDog HTS on AWS

This post was contributed by Kirill Bogdanov (Pr. Solutions Architect at AWS) and Alan Parry, (CTO at YellowDog). Large-scale compute grids sit at the heart of modern financial services operations. They power overnight batch runs for regulatory risk and prepare traders for the coming day. During trading, the same grids drive intraday ‘value at risk’ (VaR), trade pricing, real-time ‘Greeks’, and profit and loss calculations. These workloads routinely fan out into millions of independent, loosely coupled, and short-running tasks.
