Probably the fastest black scholes pricer in the world.

This tries to be correct for all black scholes calculations including accounting for dividends and american binomial options Tested against widely known pricers for accuracy

SIMD

As a thought experiment I used this to see what performance I could eeek out of a i5 6th gen laptop compared to the the naive calculation

For 10,000,000 calls to bs_single::call()

  • Dev: ~7500ms
  • Release: ~1900,s

with RUST_FLAGS=-C -target_feature=+avx,+fma

  • Release: ~750ms

With the SIMD version with RUST_FLAGS=-C -target_feature=+avx,+fma, without Wide math functions

  • Release: ~400ms

with RUST_FLAGS=-C -target_feature=+avx,+fma, with Wide math functions

  • Release: ~100ms

So around 18x speed up when written with careful CPU consideration
