Featured Project
Technical Analysis Library
Our flagship open source library implements 300+ technical indicators with GPU acceleration. Production ready and used in real trading setups.
const prices = new Float64Array([100.0, 102.0, 101.5, 103.0]);
const result = sma_js(prices, 20); // returns Float64Array
console.log('SMA[0]:', result[0]);
console.log('SMA(10)[0]:', fast[0]);
try { return sma_js(p, 20); }
catch (error) { console.error('SMA failed:', error); throw error; }
}
Performance Fundamentals
See how VectorAlpha's technical analysis library achieves exceptional performance through SIMD instructions and GPU acceleration.
Scalar vs SIMD
2-4x performance improvement
CPU vs GPU
10-30x performance for parallel workloads
SIMD Advantage
SIMD instructions process 8 data elements simultaneously, providing up to 8x speedup for vectorizable operations like SMA calculations. Modern CPUs achieve this through AVX-512 instructions.
GPU Parallelism
GPUs can evaluate technical indicators for thousands of symbols and time windows in a single batch, turning nested CPU loops into one parallel kernel launch.
CPU 0 of 128. GPU 0 of 128. Scalar 0 of 8. SIMD 0 of 8.
Real-World Performance Gains
These optimizations make it possible to process millions of data points in real time, which makes VectorAlpha a good fit for high frequency trading and large scale backtesting.
*Performance gains vary based on workload characteristics, data size, memory bandwidth, and hardware configuration. Actual results may differ. ALMA indicator shows measured 1.5-2x improvement with SIMD.
