Latency: The Race to Zero...Are We There Yet?

Low and predictable latency have been an edge in financial trading. Aeron has been pushing the limit on what is possible for IPC, on-premise, and in the cloud messaging. Can we do better? Reaching back into computer science history, techniques like Virtual Synchrony can be used to, not only reduce latency, but also provide high-availability and avoid the complexity of distributed concurrency. In this talk we will explore an approach for system composition that some financial organizations use to give an edge when building mission critical systems.
