AMD unveiled the Alveo UL3422 accelerator card aimed at ultra-low latency electronic trading. Built for high-frequency traders and financial institutions, the UL3422 leverages AMD’s Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA technology, offering under 3ns FPGA transceiver latency and optimized ‘tick-to-trade’ performance. This card is designed for deployment in a broad range of server environments and co-location data centers, providing an accessible entry point for firms looking to compete in high-speed trading.
With a slim FHHL form factor, the Alveo UL3422 reduces port density and on-board memory compared to its predecessor, the UL3524, while delivering equivalent performance. The reduced size optimizes compute density and rack space in data centers, making it a highly efficient option. The card is supported by a growing ecosystem of partners like Exegy, Hypertec, and Xelera Technologies, offering a fast path to deployment and development frameworks for rapid implementation of trading solutions.
• Slim FHHL form factor for space-optimized deployment
• Powered by AMD Virtex UltraScale+ VU2P FPGA
• Less than 3ns transceiver latency for ultra-low latency trading
• Supported by partners including Exegy, Hypertec, and Xelera Technologies
• Compatible with traditional FPGA flows and AI-based trading models
“Speed is the ultimate advantage in the increasingly competitive world of high-speed trading,” said Yousef Khalilollahi, AMD’s corporate vice president & general manager, Adaptive Computing Group.
