Addressing Key FSI Needs

Financial services industry (FSI) institutions need high performance computing solutions that enable faster trading and transactions, speed access to market intelligence, and improve customer experiences—while keeping TCO down, system management streamlined, and security intact. Discover how AMD solutions address these imperatives across the four major FSI segments: banking, capital markets, insurance, and payments.

 

Performance

AMD powers solutions that can drive exceptionally low latency for FSI applications, high performance per core, and leadership acceleration / compute offload.

Efficiency

By using AMD processor-based solutions, organizations may be able to reduce their server footprint—driving power and cost efficiencies that can help address sustainability goals.

Security and Compliance

AMD processor-powered solutions are built on cutting-edge security features that help protect sensitive financial data and transactions—including real-time system memory encryption, hardware-based protection, and more.

Use Cases

HPC / Grid for Risk Management and Compliance

Grid computing requires dynamic workload balancing, high availability, and robust parallel processing. As a result, organizations need high-density server solutions that can enable faster simulations, more extensive algorithm analysis, and cheaper calculations for regulatory compliance and risk management.

AMD EPYC™ server processor-based solutions offer exceptional performance per core and core density, and come with large L3 cache that keeps data closer to cores—all ideal for Risk Analysis. AMD also offers a dedicated accelerator card for ultra-low latency pre-trade risk assessment and regulatory compliance—the Alveo™ UL3524.

AMD EPYC Processors

AMD EPYC server processors play an instrumental role in enabling compute for FSI both on-premises and in the cloud. EPYC processors deliver exceptional performance, power efficiency, and x86 compatibility for simplified migration. 

Each EPYC processor also comes equipped with AMD Infinity Guard1—a full suite of modern security features that help decrease potential attack surfaces as software is booted, executed, and processes critical data.

Footnotes
  1. GD-183: AMD Infinity Guard features vary by EPYC Processor generations. Infinity Guard security features must be enabled by server OEMs and/or Cloud Service Providers to operate. Check with your OEM or provider to confirm support of these features. Learn more about Infinity Guard at https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/infinity-guard.
  2. SP5C-001: Testing as of 8.13.2023 using an AMD benchmark based on the Quantlib 1.30 library. The AMD benchmark differs from the upstream Quantlib benchmark and as such results are not comparable.
    Testing measured QuantLib 8400 tasks benchmark comparison based on AMD internal testing on AWS EC2 M6 and m6a instances using AMD AOCC4.1 and OneAPI 2023.0.0 Cloud performance results presented are based on the test date in the configuration and are in alignment with AMD internal bare-metal testing factoring in cloud service provider overhead. Results may vary due to changes to the underlying configuration, and other conditions such as the placement of the VM and its resources, optimizations by the cloud service provider, accessed cloud regions, co-tenants, and the types of other workloads exercised at the same time on the system.
