B2BITS offers optimized FIX Antenna 2.3 libraries with latency under 10 µs
Newtown, PA - October 19, 2010 - B2BITS®, EPAM
Systems' Capital Markets Competency Center providing technology
for FIX connectivity, is pleased to announce the release of FIX
Antenna 2.3 libraries. This new release has been optimized to
satisfy the most challenging demands of High Frequency Trading.
The technical enhancements implemented have affected the area of
memory management, as well as the TCP and UDP stack operation in
Windows and Linux environments to achieve greater efficiency. The
critical sections of code were rewritten to reduce the number of
code instructions executed while composing and parsing the
messages.
FIX Antenna has been redesigned to include APIs to interact
directly with 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) solutions using Datagram
Bypass Layer (DBL), which reduced latency from 3 to 5 times
comparing to the standard OS built-in protocols.
Users of FIX Antenna will benefit from the following competitive
advantages:
- Unparalleled low latency results on commodity hardware
- Possibility to use intelligent network cards with direct access
to memory thus benefiting from zero TCP copy technology
- Multiple tuning options which allow to maintain required
performance characteristic per session
- A new FIX integration
Control Center (FIXICC) all the tools to reliably configure and
manage FIX connectivity
This release of FIX Antenna has been successfully deployed in a
leading trading firm in Chicago. The trading application gets
market data from CME
FAST/FIX market data interface using Myri 10G-PCIE2-8B2-2S,
"Gen 2" (5 GT/s) PCI-Express x8 NICs with two SFP+
network ports.
