Factor research, portfolio optimization, and risk modeling require processing millions of rows of market data, fitting models across large cross-sections of assets, and solving complex optimization problems. These workflows are bottlenecked by CPU-bound operations that dominate most quant research codebases.

Graphics processing units (GPUs) solve this by executing thousands of parallel operations simultaneously. Unlike CPUs, which have 8-20 cores optimized for sequential tasks, modern GPUs have thousands of cores designed for data-parallel workloads. This architecture makes GPUs ideal for the vectorized DataFrame operations, matrix ...
