英文摘要：
  Stochastic simulation techniques employed for the analysis of portfolios of insurance/reinsurance risk, often referred to as `Aggregate Risk Analysis\', can benefit from exploiting state-of-the-art high-performance computing platforms. In this paper, parallel methods to speed-up aggregate risk analysis for supporting real-time pricing are explored. An algorithm for analysing aggregate risk is proposed and implemented for multi-core CPUs and for many-core GPUs. Experimental studies indicate that GPUs offer a feasible alternative solution over traditional high-performance computing systems. A simulation of 1,000,000 trials with 1,000 catastrophic events per trial on a typical exposure set and contract structure is performed in less than 5 seconds on a multiple GPU platform. The key result is that the multiple GPU implementation can be used in real-time pricing scenarios as it is approximately 77x times faster than the sequential counterpart implemented on a CPU.

中文摘要：
用于分析保险/再保险风险组合的随机模拟技术，通常被称为“总体风险分析”，可以从开发最先进的高性能计算平台中获益。本文探讨了并行方法来加速支持实时定价的总风险分析。针对多核CPU和多核GPU，提出并实现了一种聚合风险分析算法。实验研究表明，相对于传统的高性能计算系统，GPU提供了一种可行的替代方案。在多个GPU平台上，在不到5秒钟的时间内，在一个典型的暴露集和契约结构上模拟1000000次试验，每次试验1000次灾难性事件。关键的结果是，多个GPU实现可以用于实时定价场景，因为它比在CPU上实现的顺序对应物快大约77倍。
