nxAccess | FPGA-based trading engine
Products
Information
nxAccess is a fully featured execution engine with an FPGA algo sandbox allowing users to preload orders in hardware, receive market data then trigger & update those orders then send to the trading venue - with the speed and performance of hardware assisted by the flexibility of software.
Designed for market making, high performance trading and arbitrage strategies, nxAccess accelerates existing trading algorithms without the investment usually required for FPGA level performance.
With constant, deterministic, and jitter-free performance, nxAccess offers the power of FPGA technology with the integration simplicity of a software solution.
nxAccess uses a hybrid implementation with a full FPGA data path for latency critical logic and an accelerated software data path for more complex and non-latency sensitive logic.
The nxAccess solution offers added flexibility by now supporting trading algorithms developed using Higher Level Synthesis (HLS) technologies, in addition to traditional hardware native languages such as VHDL or Verilog -- making ultra low latency trading strategies more accessible to trading firms without in-house hardware expertise.
Latency critical strategies can now be migrated to FPGA in a matter of weeks, leading to an improved hit rate and increased trading margins.
