Description
This sample demonstrates implementation of the Monte Carlo simulation for the European stock option pricing. The algorithm is an OpenCL™ kernel that unifies three major algorithm components:
- Mersenne twister - generation of uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers
- Box-Muller transform - generation of normally distributed random numbers
- Option price calculation using Black-Scholes stock pricing model
The exact Black-Scholes model is implemented as native code on the host for comparison with the results, generated with Monte Carlo.
Supported Devices: CPU, Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor
Supported OS: Windows* and Linux* OS
Complexity Level: Intermediate
