This report looks at the two divergent strategies of accelerating messaging for low latency with FPGAs or of using new architectures in software-only solutions, discussing their relative merits
Scope
Messaging technology
Capital markets
Highlights
The current stage in the evolution of low-latency messaging technology is that of a confrontation between software-only or FPGA-accelerated appliances, but this phase itself looks transitory. Nehalem and the increasingly robust 10GbE make RDMA look ever more promising for the longer term.
