From Feargal O'Sullivan, Managing Director, High Performance Messaging at NYSE Technologies:
NYSE Technologies' "Trading-in-a-Box" and RDMA over 10GigE Live Demonstrations -- To see Data Fabric™ and Market Data Platform V5™ in action with all North-American equities and OPRA feed handlers on one server, running on the Intel Xeon Nehalem-EX with 32-cores, and to quiz both NYSE Technologies and Intel experts, visit Booth #327 (demonstration available throughout the show). We'll also have a RDMA and TCP comparison demo for those interested in 10GigE and/or InfiniBand.
Starting today, I'm trying something new: NYX Aggregator, a weekly summary of news from or about NYSE Euronext and its various markets, products, and services. Items from here, there and everywhere, filtered through the glass onion of yours truly, and I think that's enough Beatles references for one sentence. But hey, cut me some slack -- today is John Lennon's birthday.
From Feargal O'Sullivan, Managing Director, High Performance Messaging at NYSE Technologies:: On one, 32-core server, we ran four of our ultra-low-latency Market Data Platform V5 feed handlers, eight of our Universal feed handlers, a mock Smart Order Router and two of our Market Access Gateways, all linked by NYSE Technologies Data Fabric messaging Local Direct Memory Access transport - and we had 6 cores to spare!

"The motivation behind building out the RMG is to effectively provide an exchange facility service that allows our customers, the sell side firms, to connect to their customers in a way that fulfills anticipated regulatory requirements and agrees with what we think is a safe and orderly way to operate that function in the marketplace," said Murray White, senior vice president of NYSE Technologies.
Plus, an interesting historical tibit for today, remembering back to when the market sailed the high seas just before it sunk to the bottom.
Stephen S. Pawlowski, Intel Senior Fellow, Digital Enterprise Group Chief Technology Officer, Digital Enterprise Group and General Manager, Architecture and Planning said, “NYSE Technologies' Market Data Platform V5 with Data Fabric takes advantage of Intel Xeon processor 5500 series-based servers with Intel Quick Path Interconnect. The scalability and low latency of Market Data Platform V5 combined with the performance of the Intel Xeon processor further increases its capabilities as a market data platform. Together, Market Data Platform V5 dramatically reduces the server footprint in the data center to create a cost effective solution on industry standard hardware."
Plus: the countdown to Russell Friday continues, with another installment of Great Russells in World History.

"...The international players got up on stage and bellowed that we need standardized (FIX) connectivity to exchanges across Asia-Pac to create efficiencies and lower the barriers to connectivity; the exchanges themselves, however, pointed out that their membership isn't in any real hurry to move from proprietary to open/standardized access."
