Based on Stone Ridge Technology reconfigurable hardware, the XCT-SRT-HFT-X is designed for high-performance FPGA based processing. Typical application areas are High-Frequency Trading, Network and Signal processing. For C programmers the kit is available with the ImpulseC Co-Developer C-to-HDL compiler and Stone Ridge developed reference designs that will allow you to ramp up rapidly on your proprietary innovations. You can start programming the system right out of the box in familiar ANSI-C. For HDL coders, the kit includes IP cores for PCI-e, Ethernet and DDR memory reference designs and a clean API to get you started. Stone Ridge and XCT have designed this system for organizations developing high frequency trading systems capable of anything from complete trigger to trade systems fully in hardware or smart NIC network pre-processors that feed filtered data to user space mamory with ultra-low latency.
