Low-Latency Solutions for Financial Services Applications
Ravi A. Murty Technical Computing Group (TCG), Intel, USA
Abstract
This chapter discusses the optimization of latency sensitive applications, an especially important topic for certain financial applications. Using the example of a packet-processing engine, this chapter presents eight key optimization techniques that can significantly increase the performance of the application as well as help achieve the low latency solution required by this type of application. The optimizations include: API selection, write combining, writes are faster than reads, shadowing the head and tail pointers, reducing jitter with tickless kernels, thread affinity, memcpy, and power management ...
