With the release of the fastest electronic trading accelerator in the world in a small form factor for widespread, affordable server deployments, AMD broadens its Alveo portfolio.
The AMD Alveo UL3422 accelerator lowers entrance barriers while giving high-frequency traders an advantage in the competition for the quickest transaction execution.
The newest member of AMD’s record-breaking accelerator family for ultra-low latency electronic trading applications, the AMD Alveo UL3422 accelerator card, was unveiled today. The AMD Alveo UL3422 is a thin form factor accelerator that is geared for cost and rack space, and it is designed to be quickly deployed in a variety of servers for trading businesses, market makers, and financial institutions.
The AMD Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA, which powers the Alveo UL3422 accelerator, has a unique transceiver architecture with specialized, protected network connection components that are specifically designed for high-speed trading. By attaining less than 3ns FPGA transceiver latency and revolutionary “tick-to-trade” performance that is not possible with conventional off-the-shelf FPGAs, it makes ultra-low latency trade execution possible.

Ease of Development & Fast Path to Trade
FPGA Design Tools and Ecosystem Solutions
The Alveo UL3422 accelerator card, which has 1,680 DSP slices of computation and 780K LUTs of FPGA fabric, is designed to speed up proprietary trading algorithms in hardware so that traders may adapt their designs to new trade rules and changing trading algorithms. Using the Vivado Design Suite, conventional RTL development processes support the accelerator.
To activate the targeted Virtex UltraScale+ device, special license is needed. For license and access to more technical material, developers may apply for access to the Alveo UL3422 Secure Site. The GitHub Repository offers reference designs for testing various card functionalities and assessing latency and performance.
AMD also gives creators of low latency, AI-enabled trading algorithms the option to assess performance using the open source PyTorch-based framework (FINN). For quick trading algorithm installation, the card is also integrated with partner solution ecosystem partner solutions like Xelera Silva and Exegy nxFramework.
Fintech Applications
Competitive Advantage in Capital Markets
The Alveo UL3422 accelerator, which offers world-record performance, pre-trade risk management, market data delivery, and more, may be used by proprietary trading businesses, hedge funds, market makers, brokerages, and data providers for ULL algorithmic trading. High performance and determinism across a wide range of use cases are guaranteed by the combination of low latency networking, FPGA flexibility, and hardware acceleration.
