This engine has some strict limitations, specifically the count of polygons it can process: There’s an extra 248 KB of RAM available used to store processed geometry, this amount accounts for up to 2048 triangles or 1706 quadrilaterals, although this limit is reduced by using polygon strips (as opposed to individual polys)
The way modern credit default swaps work is that if a company or country defaults on its bonds, there is a somewhat complicated auction for those bonds, in which people who own CDS can sell their bonds and people who sold CDS can buy those bonds and anyone else who wants to can also participate. The auction sets a clearing price for the bonds, and then the CDS contracts are settled for cash based on that clearing price. So if the auction sets a price of 38 cents on the dollar, CDS will pay out 62 cents on the dollar; the rough idea is that a package of $100 of bonds and $100 of CDS should be worth $100 after the default.

Think of it this way: When I work on a book I have my Writing Room. I go into the Writing Room and turn off the internet and block distractions and do the Writing Room work.
