BIOS IT Launches Ultra-Fast Server Solution For High Frequency Trading At Low Latency Summit NY
London, England (October 9, 2013). BIOS IT, a partner of Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), is proud to announce the availability of the next generation of Hyper-Speed Solutions, designed to deliver ultra-fast high performance for high frequency trading and other mission critical environments. Now in its third generation, the Hyper-Speed range has been upgraded and accelerated by using 'Ivy Bridge' processors and system firmware optimisations that lower median latency by 15% and reduce jitter by 94%. For more information, please visit BIOS IT at the Low Latency Summit in London, Stand #101.
Based on Hyper-Speed technology, BIOS IT and Supermicro are able to enhance the highest performance Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 V2 series processors (up to 150W TDP) in order to achieve application performance improvements of up to 30%. Hyper-Speed solutions are available in Tower, 4U and 2U rack-mount configurations to benefit and assist a variety of different workloads, tasks and applications.
Ian Mellett, General Manager of BIOS IT, says, "Once again we are pleased to be working closely with Supermicro, demonstrating new technologies at the Low Latency Summit in London. We are excited about delivering accelerated computing, networking and I/O to the city."
In addition, BIOS IT will be hosting an exclusive discussion in partnership with Global Valuation and Supermicro at Low Latency Summit. BIOS IT has forged a strong relationship with GVL over recent years, focusing on solutions for memory intense applications incorporating GPUs for enhanced acceleration.
In this exclusive workshop, beginning at 2pm, HPC experts from BIOS IT and Global Valuation will be discussing how in-memory software architectures for portfolio valuation and simulation are able to achieve several orders of magnitude greater performance than on traditional grid computing and middleware solutions. Delivered by BIOS IT and Global Valuation, the revolutionary Supermicro Hyper-Speed architecture is based on large heterogeneous boards able to process entire global portfolios with millions of trades and thousands of counterparties with just a handful of nodes and superior performance.
Claudio Albanese, CEO of GVL, says, "The risk analytics software developed by GVL employs globally consistent numerical methods to achieve more granular and realistic modelling of financial risks than traditional "local" models." The novel design of the software makes full use of state of the art massively parallel computing devices to deliver unprecedented performance and improved accuracy."
For more information on the Hyper-Speed range and to take part in the workshop please visit us at the Low-Latency Summit in central London (Stand #101), Tuesday 8th October 2013.
