• Flumaion accelerates quantitative financial calculations for high-frequency trading with Intel® PAC with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA and InAccel Orchestrator Financial workloads must pore through and process huge data sets. For high-frequency trading and risk management applications, the software demands are both time- and resource-intensive. The computing hardware must keep pace with these demands and must continuously shift industry parameters because financial markets can change direction in an instant. Failure to track a market closely results in expensive trading losses....
