METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACCELERATING THE DECODING AND FILTERING OF FINANCIAL MESSAGE DATA ACROSS ONE OR MORE MARKETS WITH INCREASED RELIABILITY

摘要

A method and system for accelerating the decoding and filtering of market data to provide reduced latency of the message data while maintaining or increasing throughput and mining market data for subsequent reporting. One or more financial market data streams are directed to one or more portals for introduction to a multiplexing switch. The financial market data streams are combined at the multiplexing switch and provided to a hardware line handler to de-multiplex the combined data stream into first and second streams. The first and second data streams are processed in first and second filter stacks in parallel to identify packets originating from sources of market data. The first and second streams comprising data packets originating from the sources of market data are combined and then decoded to obtain a financial data stream. The financial data stream may be further processed. The financial data stream may then be evaluated in accordance with rules established by a user. A hardware based smart router may be used to facilitate the execution of trades based on embedded routing rules.
