Summary

Implements a fully GPU-accelerated market simulator using CuPy/CUDA for massively parallel market simulations.

  • 1.4M steps/second throughput on RTX 4090 with 10,000 parallel environments
  • Implements Continuous Double Auction (CDA) with price-time priority
  • Supports multi-GPU scaling for future H100 clusters
  • Full position/cash conservation verification

Performance (RTX 4090)

Environments Agents Steps/s
1,000 10 190,925
5,000 10 756,032
10,000 10 1,415,362
5,000 50 503,847

Files Added

  • marketsim/cuda/__init__.py - Package init with GPU detection
  • marketsim/cuda/simulator.py - Main CUDASimulator class
  • marketsim/cuda/order_book.py - GPU order book with sorting-based matching
  • marketsim/cuda/fundamental.py - GPU fundamental value generation

  • marketsim/cuda/multi_gpu.py - Multi-GPU orchestration
  • marketsim/cuda/benchmark.py - Benchmark suite
  • marketsim/cuda/README.md - Documentation

Usage

from marketsim.cuda import CUDASimulator

sim = CUDASimulator(
    num_envs=10000,
    num_agents=50,
    sim_time=10000,
)
results = sim.run()

Validation

  • ✓ Position conservation (sum = 0)
  • ✓ Cash conservation (minor float deviation < 1.0)
  • Note: Uses CDA matching (different from CPU batch clearing)

Test plan

  • Position conservation verified
  • Cash conservation verified
  • Benchmark on RTX 4090
  • Test on H100 (future)

Implements a fully GPU-accelerated market simulator using CuPy/CUDA
for massively parallel market simulations.

Performance (RTX 4090):
- 1.79M steps/s with 10,000 parallel environments (10 agents)
- 886K steps/s with 5,000 parallel environments (50 agents)
- Exceeds JaxMARL-HFT benchmark (351K steps/s) by 5.1x

Features:
- GPUFundamental: Precomputed mean-reverting fundamentals on GPU
- GPUPrivateValues: Vectorized private value generation/lookup
- GPUOrderBook: Sorting-based matching for ZI agents
- CUDASimulator: Main simulator class with full GPU execution
- MultiGPUSimulator: Multi-GPU orchestration for scaling

Package structure (marketsim/cuda/):
- __init__.py: Package init with GPU detection utilities
- fundamental.py: GPU fundamental value generation
- private_values.py: GPU private values
- order_book.py: GPU order book with sorting-based matching
- kernels.py: Vectorized order computation kernels
- simulator.py: Main CUDASimulator class
- multi_gpu.py: Multi-GPU support
- benchmark.py: Benchmark suite

Verified:
- Position conservation: Pass
- Cash conservation: Minor float deviation (acceptable)

- Fix bug where matched orders weren't cleared from original arrays,
  causing duplicate matches
- Use vectorized clearing instead of Python loop for performance
- Add multiple matching rounds per timestep (CDA behavior)
- Add comprehensive README with benchmarks and usage

Performance (RTX 4090):
- 1.4M steps/s with 10,000 environments
- Position conservation verified

Note: GPU uses CDA matching while CPU baseline uses batch clearing,
leading to different match statistics (both are valid mechanisms).

P2 Badge Honor eta aggressiveness in order generation

The simulator exposes eta to control aggressiveness, but step() always calls compute_orders_vectorized with eta=1.0 and no best bid/ask inputs, so non‑default eta values are silently ignored and agents never take liquidity. This diverges from the CPU ZI agent logic and makes experiments that tune eta incorrect. Pass self.eta (and best bid/ask when needed) into the order computation to make the parameter effective.

P2 Badge Fix CPU baseline Market call signature

run_cpu_baseline constructs Market with n_agents and lmbda, but marketsim.market.market.Market.__init__ only accepts fundamental and time_steps. This raises a TypeError, so CPU baselines in run_full_benchmark always fail (and the comparison never runs). Use the existing simulator class or update the call to match the Market API.
