GPUs are specially designed to crunch through massive amounts of data at high speed. They have a large amount of compute resources, called streaming multiprocessors (SMs), and an array of facilities to keep them fed with data: high bandwidth to memory, sizable data caches, and the capability to switch to other teams of workers (warps) without any overhead if an active team has run out of data.

The open-source llama.cpp code base was originally released in 2023 as a lightweight but efficient framework for performing inference on Meta Llama models. Built on the GGML library released the previous year, llama.cpp quickly became attractive to many users and developers (particularly for use on personal workstations) due to its focus on C/C++ without the need for complex dependencies.

The previous post How to Accelerate Quantitative Finance with ISO C++ Standard Parallelism demonstrated how to write a Black-Scholes simulation using ISO C++ standard parallelism with the code found in the /NVIDIA/accelerated-quant-finance GitHub repo. This approach enables you to productively write code that is both concise and portable. Using solely standard C++, it’s possible to write an…
