Hardware protocol paths
Move TCP/UDP, MAC/PCS and DMA paths into FPGA to reduce software stack variance.
ANNHOO / TECHNOLOGY
Critical paths.
Built for certainty.
We shorten and stabilize critical financial trading paths through hardware acceleration, low-latency networking, engineering validation and production observability.

01 / SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The whole path. Engineered together.
We start from real trading paths to decide which processing belongs in FPGA, which workloads fit GPU, and which problems need network tuning or production observability.

Speed is a start. Consistency is a capability.
Average latency is not enough for production. We focus on distribution, jitter, tail behavior and replay pressure tests so every optimization can be reproduced beyond the demo.

Deterministic performance
Measure latency distribution, jitter and repeatable pressure tests, not just averages.

Production observability
Packet capture, replay, logs, metrics and tracing for real production diagnostics.
04
System integration
Combine IP cores, servers, networks, trading systems and risk rules into deployable products.
03 / RESEARCH DIRECTIONS
Expand compute. Connect what comes next.
From parallel operators to optical transport, we evaluate engineering approaches against workload scale, data paths and deployment constraints.
GPU operators
Parallelize trading operators.
GPU fits large-scale parallel compute at the trading layer: market feature extraction, signal scoring, options pricing, portfolio risk and batch risk checks. FPGA owns the wire-speed path. GPU owns high-throughput operators, so real-time trading and complex compute happen in the right place.
- Feature extraction
- Signal scoring
- Pricing and Greeks
- Portfolio risk
Optical technology
Bring optical technology into the trading path.
Across low-latency networks, rack interconnects, market data access and cross-device transfer, optical links provide higher bandwidth, lower loss and more stable transmission boundaries. We care about transceivers, optical-electrical conversion, link latency and deployment reliability.

How do FPGA and GPU work together in trading systems?
FPGA suits wire-speed critical paths such as protocol processing. GPU suits parallel feature extraction, signal scoring, options pricing and portfolio risk. CPU orchestrates business logic. The allocation depends on data paths, workload scale and deployment conditions.
Why is average latency not enough?
An average does not fully describe jitter or tail latency. Annhoo uses latency profiles, jitter monitoring, pressure replay and repeatable tests to assess real trading paths under different loads.
How are production path issues diagnosed?
Packet capture, replay, logs, metrics and tracing connect diagnostic information from market-data ingress to order output, helping teams locate production issues and validate improvements.
