AMD announced that Optiver is using a broad range of AMD high-performance compute engines to help further its mission of improving financial markets by building a modern infrastructure that serves as the backbone of the organization. Using AMD EPYC processors, AMD Solarflare low-latency Ethernet adapters, AMD Virtex FPGAs, and AMD Alveo adaptable accelerators, Optiver is addressing a variety of technical challenges in capital markets to build systems that make financial markets more advanced. The specific AMD enterprise products that enable Optiver to modernize its infrastructure and unlock speed and efficiency for its business include: AMD EPYC CPUs:Optiver is using 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors to build out large-scale compute needed to drive data analysis and deliver core density for the company?s data center modernization and workload consolidation efforts.

Solarflare Ethernet Adapters: Optiver also uses the AMD Solarflare X2 series Ethernet network adapters designed for high-performance electronic trading environments. These adapters provide low-level control of network interfaces at the application level, allowing Optiver to better design systems to scale and stay competitive. Virtex UltraScale+ FPGAs: The exponential growth of data demands smart network and data center solutions that reach beyond fixed-function silicon devices to deliver maximum throughput, high data processing capability, and the flexibility to adapt to evolving connectivity standards.

The AMD Virtex UltraScale+ F PPGA helps Optiver accelerate its systems while remaining endlessly adaptable. Alveo Accelerators: Optiver utilizes the AMD Alveo U55C and Alveo UL3524 adaptable accelerator cards, the latter of which delivers a 7X latency improvement over prior generation FPGA technology. AMD helps enterprise customers address the challenges of today with a robust portfolio of innovative and proven solutions.

Optiver illustrates the ability of the leadership AMD compute portfolio, where individual devices in tandem form intelligent solutions greater than the sum of their parts, delivering unparalleled value to companies and customers.
