Super Speed HFT with BittWare FPGA PCIe boards

High Frequency Trading is made even faster with FPGA Solutions from BittWare!

In layman’s terms, high-frequency trading (also known as HFT) is the buying and selling of stocks at super fast speeds, with the help of very powerful computers. Using complex algorithms, these computers can scan dozens of public and private marketplaces at the same time and execute millions of orders a second.



High-frequency trading is highly dependent on ultra-low latency as well as ever-faster analysis/data correlation. The products used also need to achieve maximum performance per watt to minimize energy and thermal requirements. BittWare offers a range of FPGA-based PCIe COTS solutions to address the challenges of developing financial applications.



BittWare’s Stratix V PCIe cards offer the industry’s highest performance FPGA for network and algorithm acceleration. These boards provide the ultimate in low latency with high performance FPGA transceivers (no external PHY) and optional TCP/IP offload engine. With maximum processing performance per watt to minimize energy and thermal requirements and QDR II/II+ combined with 10GigE straight to the FPGA (no conversion to XAUI) for ultra-low latency, BittWare’s PCIe boards are ideal for applications in the High Frequency Trading (HFT) market.



Fixnetix, global managed services provider for trading, market data and risk control, were the first fintech (financial technology) company in Europe to offer the Altera Stratix V FPGA on the BittWare PCI Express slot-cards. The Altera Stratix V FPGA with integrated 10GigE and BittWare PCIe Gen 3 slot card is ideal for iX-eCute, the Fixnetix FPGA firmware for nanosecond trading and pre-trade risk checks across multiple asset classes. BittWare PCI Express slot-cards are the hardware boards that iX-eCute operates on whilst Altera Stratix is the industry's highest performance FPGA with over 1 TeraFLOPS of processing.

  2. It helps the financial institution to connect, communicate and decide in less than a minute. Intilop was founded in 2004 in San José, CA. Apart from IP products, we also provide adaptor board products which includes TOE and UOE FPGA Boards and other Ethernet IP cores like 10/100/1000 M Bit EMAC + Host_ IF, 10G Bit Ethernet MAC and other products.

  3. There have been many different terms and concepts associated with TCP offload and one of them is the 10G Bit TCP offload which has a significant role played in the entire process. It comes with unique and amazing features and benefits making it an exceptional offload engine.
    Thanks..

  4. The main objective of this plan is to develop a ten gigabyte TOE or TCP offloading engine soft IP core which utilizes the Avalon ST or Altera Standard Interfaces for delivering and getting Ethernet packets. For this reason, the TCP Offload IP core will let users to effectively handle the TCP IP more than 10 Gigabyte Ethernet on different Altera platforms like AoE Solarflare and SocKit.
    Thanks
