FPGA accelerated computing for stock trading financial application

A technique called high-frequency trading is used in financial trading where huge number of stock trading is handled simultaneously through electronics systems means. Normal/traditional CPU based systems cannot handle huge amount of data without latency. To achieve very low latency , customised hardware is used based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) chips. Fujitsu developed an innovative architecture which company claims to deliver computation performance of 10,000 times faster than a conventional computer, which can be very well utilised for financial trading application. The concept used in this computer is a kind of combinatorial optimization system. Basic optimization circuit based on digital circuitry is the building block of Fujitsu's new system. Multiple such building blocks are driven in parallel in hierarchical structure . Basically, the structure minimizes the volume of data that is move between the basic optimization circuits. So, it is possible to implement them in parallel at high density using what other semiconductors available now in the market. The structure is fully corrected and allows signals to move freely within and between basic optimization circuits so that architecture can handle a wide range of problems. Well this is about optimization circuit. There is also acceleration technology used in this. Related to Acceleration technology with...
