Title
Off-loading compute intensive tasks for insurance products using a just-in-time compiler on a hybrid system
Abstract
This paper focuses on building a hybrid system, which consists of IBM System z and IBM POWER processor-based blades as accelerators. The business application under investigation is an insurance software that is used to perform batch runs and thus requires valuable compute cycles on System z. Therefore, we present a novel technology to accelerate mathematical insurance calculations by implementing a just-in-time compiler based on LLVM. The resulting code is optimized for network attached accelerator platforms and thus runs faster and more efficiently. Overall, the hybrid solution is able to achieve a higher calculation throughput as opposed to a System z-only solution. We are able to achieve a high speed-up compared to interpretation with simple mathematical calculations.
