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 (HFT).
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. We have rewritten critical sections of code to reduce the number of code instructions executed while composing and parsing the messages.
FIX Antenna HFT 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 HFT will benefit from the following competitive advantages:
• Unparalleled low latency results on commodity software
• 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) incorporating all the tools to reliably configure and manage FIX connectivity
This release of FIX Antenna HFT has been successfully deployed at 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.
