11th Feb 2013 - In this interview, Arnaud Derasse, CEO & Laurent de Barry, Head of Customer Support at Enyx, discuss how firms are increasingly implementing FPGA-based solutions to run applications at “wire level” to reduce latency:

- How can FPGAs help with wireless/microwave links?
- How do FPGAs benefit exchanges, data vendors and end-user trading & investment firms?
- Different approaches to implementation: what is right for your firm?
- The importance of taking a step-by-step, iterative approach

31st Oct 2012 - In this interview, Stephane Hauradou, Vice President of ACCELIZE, talks about some of the choices firms have to make when implementing FPGA-enabled technology in their trading architectures, discussing:

- Where growth is most evident in the adoption of FPGAs for financial trading
- Working with FPGA-enabled appliances versus working right down at the chip level
- Performance versus ease-of-use
- Challenges that firms face when moving from a software to a hardware-based environment
- C-to-gate compilers

25th Jun 2012 - In this interview, Yves Charles, CEO of NovaSparks, talks about the various factors that are driving the adoption of FPGAs in financial markets, and also discusses:

- The true impact of non-deterministic latency on different categories of market participant
- The two types of architectures that exist to leverage FPGAs
- How to get around issues with scaling FPGA-based solutions
- The FPGA Matrix architecture
- Challenges that need to be overcome before FPGAs are more widely adopted in the financial markets

25th Jun 2012 - In this interview, John Peach, Consulting Engineer for EMEA at Arista Networks , talks about how FPGA-enabled switching is now helping a number of financial markets participants accelerate their transactions, discussing:

- The use cases of in-line risk checking, feed-handling and data translation
- How Arista works with other technology vendors in the high-performance trading ecosystem
- What skill sets are required by customers in order to leverage this technology
- How the use of FPGA-enabled technology in financial markets might evolve

25th Jun 2012 - In this interview, Mohammad Darwish, Chief Executive Officer of AdvancedIO Systems, talks about how FPGA technology is being increasingly adopted in the financial markets, discussing:

- Key challenges that the finance industry presents, versus the defence or telecoms sectors where FPGAs originated
- Limitations of software-based solutions in the electronic trading ecosystem and how hardware-based solutions can help
- FPGA development frameworks that can shorten the development cycle
- OpenCL and the future evolution of FPGA technology

25th Jun 2012 - In our new six-part series, Mike O'Hara investigates how, where and why FPGAs - and other forms of hardware acceleration - are used in the financial markets. This series looks at:

- Implementation of FPGAs using different architectural approaches
- The various programming methodologies being used
- Challenges and constraints of working in hardware versus software
- How are the CPU manufacturers responding to the FPGA "threat"?
- Predicitions and vision for the future
