Thesys Technologies: Extreme Speed, Extreme Throughput
Case study Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series Enterprise Server Performance: Data-Intensive Computing
Thesys Technologies delivers both with leading-edge trading platform and Intel® Xeon® processors. Speed and throughput are vital in most trading environments, but nowhere are the demands fiercer than in high-frequency trading of U.S. equities. Those twin requirements explain why many organizations that want to move into this dynamic arena are turning to Thesys Technologies. Thesys has gained a reputation for having an ultra-fast trading platform, and it runs its state-of-the-art platform exclusively on the Intel® Xeon® processor.
Challenges
• Low-latency infrastructure for high-frequency trading. Thesys Technologies delivers a highly optimized, end-to-end trading solution that helps its clients turn their trading ideas and strategies into profits.
• Millions of messages, microseconds of performance. The technology infrastructure must analyze market data that floods in at peak rates of millions of messages per second, and respond to market changes within microseconds.
• Failure is not an option. With millions of dollars riding on a few seconds’ activity, Thesys and its customers demand rock-solid reliability.
Solutions
• Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series. Thesys Technologies chose the Intel® Xeon® processor 5560 for its balanced combination of processor performance, I/O throughput, and memory bandwidth, as well as a track record of outstanding reliability.
Impact
• 15 to 20 percent speedup in application throughput. Thesys achieved a dramatic increase in overall application throughput, driving business growth by enabling customers to keep up with ever-rising volumes of market data.
• End-to-end median latency under 30 microseconds. The Thesys trading platform achieves typical through-system latencies of less than 30 microseconds and sits atop a low-latency mesh network that interconnects all the major stock exchanges.
