Thanks for the praise, and for the insight per your experience. Sounds like a great gig!

I looked you up, and see that you are likely working exclusively in Haskell, but thought you might derive some value from Carl Cook's presentation on optimizing HFT code at the most recent cpp convention. I recognize the languages are distinctly different, but he provides some interesting theoretical points along the way that might be advantageous to you.

Also, I can sympathize with your plight to run scalable sims. I've done some work in bioinformatics, and am building a small cluster at home so that I can learn to write code that'll scale to more massively parallel systems that are de rigueur in that domain.

Cheers!

I’ll have a gander! Thx for the link. I do code in other stuff when it makes sense ;)

Yeah building stuff that works easily in the small and sanely in the large is a fun challenge. Also hard.

Possibly because of your original comment, or perhaps unrelatedly, I’ve been lately saying “finance done right is the lock free wait free scheduling algorithm for moving society’s resources around” —— all the other stuff folks think of as finance is really just icing and fancy wrapping on top of that core truth
