NOVASPARKS FEEDHANDLERS NOW OPTIMIZED FOR TSE’S ARROWHEAD 4.0

Published

on

By

The Leading FPGA-powered market data company announces a successful migration to Arrowhead 4.0, demonstrating its strength with FPGA-powered feed handlers.

NEW YORK and LONDON and PARIS and TOKYO, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — NovaSparks, the leading field programmable gate array (FPGA) market data company, today announced the successful introduction of its FPGA feed handlers to support the new Arrowhead 4.0 feed on Tokyo Stock Exchange’s (TSE), one of the most strategic and competitive markets in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. NovaSparks continues to enhance its coverage in APAC markets by reducing the latencies of its feed handlers on multiple APAC exchanges, and by developing market-specific features such as Itayose for TSE—a Japanese auction method used to set prices and facilitate the reopening of trading floors. This achievement underscores NovaSparks’ ability to support advanced market technology and its ongoing commitment to the APAC financial sector.

The Arrowhead 4.0 migration, a significant move by TSE, shifts from Market by Level (MBL) to Market by Order (MBO), providing traders with unparalleled market data granularity. Unlike MBL, where quotes are aggregated, MBO publishes each individual buy and sell order, offering traders a detailed view of market activity. This transition allows market participants to leverage deeper insights and execute more strategic trading decisions.

“Increasing the transparency and granularity of market data has been pivotal for enhancing trading strategies and market resilience,” said Luc Burgun, CEO of NovaSparks. “With the shift from Market by Level to Market by Order, traders now have a deeper view of individual orders, enabling optimized order placement and advanced algorithmic trading. Our FPGA solutions were instrumental in processing the surge in data volume seamlessly, reinforcing market stability and performance. This transition exemplifies our commitment to equipping financial institutions with the technology needed to stay competitive and compliant during high frequency trading.”

“Arrowhead 4.0 was a very important market data feed for our company, and using NovaSparks enabled us to significantly reduce the complexity of switching to the MBO format. We achieved our goal of not losing any packet while providing consistent auction prices since the first days of trading,” said one of NovaTick’s customers who successfully moved his brokerage trading infrastructure to TSE Arrowhead 4.0.

The Power of FPGA Technology

The MBO format significantly increases data volume—an estimated additional 3 000+ messages per second—and demands that feed handlers build comprehensive order books, a task not required under MBL. While software-based solutions may need up to three times more memory and double the computing power to process this influx, FPGA technology excels in handling such high data loads efficiently, maintaining high-performance with the speed and determinism that only FPGAs can bring.

About NovaSparks

NovaSparks is the leader in FPGA-based high performance and ultra-low latency trading solutions for financial markets. NovaTick™, its flagship Ticker Plant product, supports 75 feeds across the major Equities, Futures and Options trading venues in North America, Europe and Asia. It is packaged in scalable ‘easy-to-deploy’ appliances or in ‘tightly coupled’ PCIe cards. NovaSparks scalable and deterministic feed handlers deliver normalized market data, including order book building and multi-feed consolidation with sub microsecond processing latency, even during market peaks period. Deterministic performance is extended to the whole trading cycle, whether the trading algorithms are implemented in software or in hardware. NovaTick™ also includes advanced built-in functions to support and optimize the use of wireless infrastructures.

The company is headquartered in Paris (France), New York City (USA) and has offices in London (UK), Nantes (France), Athens (Greece) and Bangkok (Thailand).

Published

By

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Netlight, a leading digital consulting firm, announces a rotation in the CEO duo. Felix Sprick will step out from his role to continue as a Partner amongst Partners while Anders Thall will be stepping into the position alongside the current co-CEO Katri Junna

Netlight introduced its innovative CEO duo model in 2021, featuring two equal leaders sharing the role. This model challenges the traditional CEO structure, offering richer perspectives, a broader leadership skill set, greater international exposure and an equal sparring partner for those in the role.

The rotation principle is a fundamental feature of Netlight’s CEO duo model. Netlight’s Board of Directors, in collaboration with the Partner group, selects every few years a new co-CEO from Partner group maintaining alignment with Netlight’s vision and values to drive long-term success.

The newly appointed co-CEO Anders Thall is a Partner and consultant, based in Netlight’s office in Stockholm. Thall has a track record of strategic advisory and he has been working with defining and expanding Netlight’s service offering globally.

Alongside the rotation in the CEO duo, Netlight strengthens the executive group by appointing Djavad Hedayati, Partner based in Munich, to be part of the group. The executive group is responsible for Netlight’s global business operations and governance.

This will take effect from 1st of January 2025.

“I am excited and honored to step into the role of co-CEO. Netlight’s commitment to innovation, collaboration, and diversity aligns closely with my own values. I look forward to working alongside Katri Junna to build on the company’s success,” says Anders Thall, the new co-CEO.

“At Netlight, we thrive on continuous renewal, which allows us to adapt, innovate, and stay competitive in a changing world – and our co-CEO model is in line with that. I am thrilled to welcome Anders Thall to the role, I believe our strengths complement each other in serving Netlight going forward,” says Katri Junna the current co-CEO.

Erik Fröberg, Chairman of the Board, adds: “Netlight has successfully navigated a challenging market environment, and I want to extend my gratitude to Felix Sprick for his valuable contributions. We are pleased to welcome Anders Thall as the new co-CEO.  We are confident that the combined leadership of Katri Junna and Anders Thall will enable Netlight to thrive and excel in the ever-evolving digital landscape. I am also very pleased that Djavad will be part of the executive group where he will assume increased responsibility.”

From the departing co-CEO Felix Sprick: “Serving as co-CEO of Netlight has been an incredible journey and an honour. I deeply believe in the strength of our rotation model, which enables leaders to step into and out of the role seamlessly and without prestige. This approach not only provides Anders Thall the opportunity to grow and thrive as he takes on the role, but also allows me to refocus on driving Netlight forward from a partner perspective.”
