• 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....

• Prevent DDoS attacks with the F5 BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager Smart Virtual Edition (AFMVE) integrated with an Intel® FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card (PAC) N3000 The transition to 5G infrastructure will likely increase the risk of a new series of Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. While DDoS attacks range from targeted acts of retaliation, protest, theft, or extortion to pranksters, they all have one objective: disrupt service availability and reduce the ability of a business to function. Service providers building 5G infrastructure must implement a strategy...
