The Challenge
When Hardware Stops Getting Faster,
Software Must Get Smarter.
Aqua is Aquon's proprietary computation engine, built specifically for financial computing.
A computation engine for the math at the core of modern finance.
Portfolio construction means solving large, heavily constrained optimization problems quickly and correctly. Aqua is built for exactly that. On Zeton's 10-year production backtest, over half a million solver calls, these are the results.
5x to 5x
faster
on production portfolio-optimization backtests
1.3x to 1.9x
across general workloads
consistent acceleration on broader numerical computing
1 in 1,000,000,000
correctness parity
results match reference to within one part in a billion, zero regressions
Built to run anywhere.
Aqua profiles the machine it runs on and adapts automatically, from a constrained cloud server to a high-core workstation, with no configuration from the caller.
Aqua detects constrained resources and selects a conservative parallel strategy.
Illustrative. Relative values, not benchmark data.
Fast is not enough. It has to be trustworthy.
Institutional trust increasingly depends on the integrity of the software supply chain beneath critical decisions. Aqua is a proprietary, audited, low-attack-surface numerical core, a controlled foundation for the numbers your capital depends on. We expect this dimension of Aqua's defensibility to grow in importance over the coming years.
