To achieve ultra-low latency in high-frequency trading, a Tier 1 investment bank slashed its tick-to-trade latency to 10 microseconds using Napatech’s FPGA-based SmartNIC solution. Napatech's specialized Link software was critical to this success, providing high-precision time-stamping and optimized packet processing directly at the network interface. By offloading these demanding tasks from the host OS, the software eliminated processing bottlenecks and guaranteed zero packet loss during peak market volatility. This software-driven acceleration delivered the deterministic, sub-microsecond timing accuracy necessary for the bank to optimize execution speeds, maintain a competitive trading edge, and ensure reliable compliance tracking.
