FPGA Applications Embraced by Financial and High Frequency Trading Firms

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul. 17, 2012 - Trading outfits that are latency sensitive are interested in FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) for a number of reasons including the order-of-magnitude speed improvement and more deterministic latency over software running on general purpose CPUs. What are other unique advantages this technology brings to high-frequency trading? What sets FPGAs apart from other technologies? How fast implementation costs are changing?

"Hot FPGA: As Financial Firms Embrace More Applications, would FPGA Live up to the Current Lofty Expectations?" is just one the topics Golden Networking will bring to the attention of experts and practitioners at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2012, this time in three of the world’s most important financial centers: New York, Chicago and London.

With insightful keynote speeches and highly regarded panels, everybody involved in high-frequency trading will gain inside knowledge about the latest technologies that can drastically optimize HFT infrastructures and take a first look at upcoming regulations that could radically change the HFT firms’ business model. Topics that will be discussed at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2012, "How Traders, Brokers, Exchanges and Dark Pools Navigate the Most Challenging Regulatory Landscape",  include the movement toward emerging markets, every time more attuned to the use of bots, the regulatory environment, how new technologies are changing the game, including FPGA applications, and a look at the upcoming regulatory changes that will definitely impact how speed traders capture alpha.

High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2012 is produced by Golden Networking (http://www.goldennetworking.net), the premier networking community for business executives, entrepreneurs and investors. Panelists, speakers and sponsors are invited to contact Golden Networking by sending an email to info@goldennetworking.net.
