Overview

The SmartNIC HFT Solution is a low-latency, FPGA/SoC-based Network Interface Card built for high-frequency trading.

It accelerates trading functions in hardware with cut-through packet processing, custom protocol parsing, and kernel bypass—delivering near-zero latency and deterministic performance.

Ideal for financial firms and low-latency networks, it reduces jitter and maximizes trading speed.

Ultra-Low Latency Path (<1µs): Deterministic, hardware-accelerated path from market data ingestion to order execution.
On-Card Packet Parsing & Filtering: Custom parsers for FIX, OUCH, ITCH, and ARCA protocols for real-time market data extraction.
FPGA/SoC-based Acceleration: Offload computational and networking tasks with programmable logic—ideal for custom trading strategies.
Kernel Bypass Technology: Avoids traditional OS network stacks with DPDK, RDMA, or direct FPGA passthrough for minimal delay.
Multi-Port High-Speed Ethernet: Supports 10G, 25G, 40G, and 100G interfaces with line-rate packet processing.
In-Hardware Time Stamping: Precise nanosecond-level timestamping for order auditing, synchronization, and PTP/IEEE 1588 compliance.
Dynamic Reconfiguration: Update logic and filter rules on the fly to adapt to changing market conditions.
Built-in Telemetry & Monitoring: In-line statistics, packet counters, latency probes, and error tracking without slowing performance.

Win the Race to Zero Latency: Cut out software latency with a fully hardware-driven data path for both RX and TX.
Deploy Strategy at Hardware Level: Run portions of your trading strategy directly in the NIC—no CPU intervention.
Direct Exchange Connectivity: Integrated support for financial exchange protocols like NASDAQ ITCH, NYSE Arca, and more.
Reduce Server Load: Offload networking, parsing, and filtering tasks to the NIC—free up cores for strategy execution.
Deterministic Performance: Minimize jitter with tightly controlled, non-blocking FPGA pipelines and queue isolation.
Financial-Grade Security & Monitoring: Optional AES encryption, secure boot, and packet authentication modules.
