The compute unified device architecture is a fundamentally new programming approach for managing computations on a graphics processing unit (GPU) as a data-parallel computing device. With continuously increasing number of cores in combination with a high memory bandwidth, a recent GPU offers incredible resources for computational physics. We apply this revolutionary new technology to methods of fluctuation analysis, which includes determination of the scaling behavior of a stochastic process and the equilibrium autocorrelation function. Additionally, the recently introduced pattern formation conformity [T. Preis et al , Europhys. Lett. 82, 68005 (2008)], which quantifies pattern-based complex short-time correlations of a time series, is calculated on a GPU and analyzed in detail. Results are obtained up to 84 times faster than on a current central processing unit core. When we apply this method to high-frequency time series of the German BUND future, we find significant pattern based correlations on short time scales. Furthermore, an anti-persistent behavior can be found on short time scales. Additionally, we compare the recent GPU generation, which provides a theoretical peak performance of up to roughly 1012 floating point operations per second with the previous one.
