I am wondering if anyone is using an FPGA for any part of their trading, from just offloading the network stack all the way to running the entire trading system inside an FPGA card. If so I would enjoy hearing your experience and why you chose one solution over another.

To get this started I thought I would title the thread on something relatively easily comparable, the choice of FPGA chip itself, but feel free to discuss any of it.

I'd look at using a GPU with OpenCL before going with a hardware implementation.

Thanks for all the replies. This was particularly interesting, as I had never heard of BeeCube or Mercury. Also led me to the FPGA site.

Thanks!

the whole point is to offload things before they hit the kernel (or to make sure they never even get there). can't do that with a gpu. not yet anyway.
