Accelerating the least-square Monte Carlo method with parallel computing.

This paper accelerates the critically important least-squares Monte Carlo method (LSM) in financial derivatives pricing with parallel computing. We parallelize LSM with space decomposition, turning it into an embarrassingly parallel algorithm. The program is implemented with Parallel Virtual Machine and ALGLIB. Our method gives accurate option prices with excellent speedup. Although this paper focuses on the pricing of options, the methodology is applicable to much more complex financial derivatives.
