Accelerating Development of HFT FPGA and ASIC Systems

STAC Builder Day consists of vendor-led training sessions that equip engineers and developers with ways to build more competitive solutions.

Space is limited. See Eligibility below. Register by clicking 'Get tickets' to secure your spot in this session with Cadence!

Cadence provided the following description of the content they will cover:

"HFT systems implement complex packet processing and trading intelligence optimized for speed. With complexity growing and engineering resources becoming harder to find, new techniques to optimize each stage of development are warranted. It’s generally understood that these new techniques require an investment before they yield a return. But what is the extent of the knowledge and resource investment, what can these new techniques deliver, and what is ROI?

This workshop provides answers to those questions. Together with our HFT advisors, we’ve identified 5 key topics and created technical tutorials for each. The workshop features Cadence subject matter experts who will field your questions as we present each of the topics in these mini-tutorials:

• Benefits and Cost Management of HFT Accelerators led by Adam Sherer, Verification Technical Executive
• Stand-up cost-effective ASIC development led by Mike Lafferty, Applications Engineering Group Director
• Latency-optimized SerDes PMA for Deployment in 10G & 25G Trading SoCs led by Jeff Lumish, Director of Digital Design, Silicon Creations
• Engineering Power and Signal Integrity for 25G Ethernet in HFT Accelerators led by Lawrence Der, Application Engineering Director
• Leveraging AI/ML to Speed HFT Accelerator Development led by Dr Amzie Adams, Digital Design Technical Executive"

Eligibility

End User Organizations

An “End User” organization is a financial organization such as a bank, broker, exchange, hedge fund, prop shop, etc. If your firm is an End User organization that is a NOT member of the Council(see this list), please go ahead and register, then sign up for a free Observer Membership, or we will reach out about membership.

Business Application Vendors

A business-application vendor (BAV) is an organization that does not provide infrastructure but rather provides software or services that deliver business-level functionality to End User organizations. In their capacity as users of technology infrastructure, BAVs may send employees in purely technical job functions (architecture, development, etc.) to this event under the same terms as End User organizations (above).
