STAC-A2 is the technology benchmark standard for financial market risk analysis, evaluating the performance, scaling, quality, and resource efficiency of stacks capable of running a compute-intensive workload: Monte Carlo estimation of Heston-based Greeks for a path-dependent, multi-asset option with early exercise.
STAC performed an audited benchmark against a SUT consisting of:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) cluster
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) c8i.metal-96xl Instance
- 2 x Intel® Xeon® 6975P-C Processors
- 24 x 32 GiB DDR5 DIMMs @ 7200 MT/s; 768 GiB total
- 2 GB Amazon Elastic Block Store
- Amazon Linux 2023 Container
- Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit 2025.3 runtime
- Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit 2025.3 runtime
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) c8i.metal-96xl Instance
This testing was performed on the same instance as audited SUT ID INTC251024. The difference is the SUT in this testing runs inside Kubernetes container created by EKS and uses Intel oneAPI Base toolkit and Intel HPC 2025.3 toolkit runtimes.
