## AI overview

A GPU-accelerated workflow uses rolling correlation and tail-dependence matrices to cluster financial instruments for portfolio construction, risk aggregation, statistical arbitrage, and trade surveillance. Its adaptive SymNMF-based solver supports soft factor loadings and hard cluster labels, while memory-efficient and distributed implementations scale from single GPUs to one million instruments across multiple nodes.
