I suppose it still may be somewhat more complex task than my trading software, in terms of how many instructions it needs from CPU, and thus necessarily higher latency, as it is competing with other stuff, for example kernel house-keeping. Are these software being ran in regular PC, or has someone tapped this market and is producing FPGA based fixed delay trading solutions at nanoseconds jitter scale? I wonder how much jitter in normal PC could be reduced for running simplistic software, even with esoteric stabbing of the kernel, sub 1ms jitter on software solution seems unachievable. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
