Claim: 15 billion VaR computations in 187 ms. Implementation uses HBase coprocessors and direct disk reads with binary-packed position records (≈16–18 bytes) to avoid JVM heap bloat and network aggregation. Deployment runs on ~60 Amazon VMs with an Azure front end, per-worker JVMs limited to ~4 GB, CPU pegged ~95%, and HDFS short‑circuit/local reads plus chunked loads to reduce HBase metadata and disk latency. Live demo validates the latency and throughput.
