Financial Market Data Systems
The main performance I/O bottleneck in the financial computing
sector is latency. High-Frequency Trading (HFT) is the best ex-
ample of this – the faster the trade in response to a market trend,
the more the financial opportunity. Market data systems that can
benefit from low-latency acceleration include: Feed Assemblers
& Handlers, Matching Engines, Algo Engines, Smart Order Routers,
Trading Gateways, and Risk Engines.
Ethernet is the typical interconnect in the financial industry
because the exchange interface is Ethernet. This drives Ethernet
as the first choice, but it must have the right low-latency char-
acteristics. iWARP has value in the servers within the Exchange
or within the Trading House/Security over a messaging layer, like
NYSE’s Data Fabric or Red Hat’s AMQP. In the datapath between
the Exchange and Trading House/Security, TCP and UDP sockets
interfaces are used and a kernel-bypass solution, like Voltaire’s
VMA can be employed to accelerate the UDP multi-cast data.
