Reconfigurable acceleration for computer trading

Prof. Wayne Luk from Imperial College London visited our group in October, 2015

Abstract
The capability of supporting high-speed computer trading is becoming critical for both financial institutions and regulatory bodies. This talk describes two applications of reconfigurable accelerators to such computer trading. The first application concerns machine learning techniques in advanced trading strategies. The second application concerns ordinal analysis in time series characterisation. The potential of the proposed approach will be presented.
