General System Level Features

 

  • FPGA Based HW Module processes two ITCH feeds simultaneously
  • Scalable HW allows multiple FPGA boards to support more instruments
  • Generates single ITCH feed by combining primary and secondary feeds for accelerating WS algorithms 
  • Multiplexing two additional order lanes (unlimited TCP sessions) with FPGA orders to support fastest switch free operation
  • Recording control messaging, market data feeds, inbound and outbound orders with time stamp for analysis and back testing

Tick-to-Trade

 

  • Optimized for ultra low and deterministic latency (Parser, Synchronizer, Order Book Generation, Trigger Generation, Order Generation, TCP)
  • Built-in algorithms running on FPGA generate orders with minimum delay
  • Customer trading algorithms (under NDA) can also be implemented on FPGA for ultra-low delay T2t trading
  • Customer trading algoritms can also be implemented by customer in FPGA CPU cores (ARM A72), enabling nano-second delay SW algorithms
  • Up to 60 instruments per FPGA can be supported
  • Supports multiple TCP sessions for order generation
  • Supports HFT Tick-to-trade, SW Tick-to-Trade and Accelerator applications simultaneously

Accelerator

 

  • Optimized for ultra-low and deterministic latency (Parser, Synchronizer, Order Book Generation, Trigger Generation)
  • Price changes are sent to WS together with other information including current quantities
  • SolarFlare NIC used for direct user space DMA
  • Delay optimized SW Module receives price updates and triggers trading algorithms
  • HW Module creates the trigger in nanoseconds after the ITCH command causing it. SW Module triggers Trading Software with a minimum possible delay

Adhoc can support the selection & tuning of the Workstation on which trading algorithms are run for best performance
