And I figured out that the most efficient way to do this performance task is to get a large number of stocks (say 20,000) and assign the tasks on each stock to each block/thread. 

You won't get all that data onto the card.

So you will have to do it in parts, and you are likely the hit the "wrong
side" of the communication versus computation tradeoff as the computation is
pretty simple.

| Here is a simple Breakout strategy: 
|  inputs: x(20),y(10) ;
| Vars: V20(10),V10(10),N2(10),N1(10),N(10);
| V20=Volatility(x)of data2;
| V10=Volatility(y)of data2;
| if V10<>0 and N2<>0 then beginN1=(N*V20)/V10;
| N2=IntPortion(N1);
| value1=Average(high of data2,N2)of data2;
| value2=Average(low of data2,N2)of data2;
| if close crosses above value1  then beginbuy next bar at market;end;
| if close crosses below value2  then beginsellshort next bar at market;end;
|

| I was looking for similar examples for quite a while, but found nothing. Please let me know if you know how to apply parallel computation with respect to each stock to run the above pseudo code / should we simply apply parallel computation on each time series if it is possible.  Or have you seen any existing example?? Please give me the code if you have.
