As trading moves from milliseconds to microseconds to nanoseconds, everyone is learning to act more quickly.
They come in three pairs, only the least massive of which occurs naturally at post-first-ten-microseconds temperatures.
ECONOMIST: Particle physics makes sense, but it assumes too much
This ultracold experiment is also ultra-fast - the longest lived Rydberg molecule survives for just 18 microseconds.
So our average latency, for orders coming in and out of our system, ranges between 250 and 350 microseconds.
The change is negligible, but still worth noting: Each day should be 1.26 microseconds shorter, according to preliminary calculations.
While a standard network adapter might have latency of 15 to 20 microseconds, Solarflare reduces that to below 3.5 microseconds.
FORBES: HPC -- Solarflare Server Adapters Cut Through I/O Bottlenecks
It takes nerve to hold your audience in suspense for microseconds until you judge it is ready for the punchline.
So he brought in pit-stop experts from Nascar to show how races were won by cutting microseconds off individual repair tests.
And so, if you advertise for example, you know, 400 or 500 microsecond response time, which microseconds are millionths of a second.
Akamai parks data locally to cut microseconds from the travel time each packet takes to get to where it needs to be.
It delivers up to 240, 000 4K read IOPS and up to 200, 000 4K write IOPS, with access latency of less than 50 microseconds.
Yes, the industry moves in microseconds in the front office, but the back office takes a little longer and group efforts take longer still.
FORBES: Global Financial Regulation -- The LEI Looks All-American
Because the trading operations all use similar algorithms, there is a competition, measured in microseconds, on who gets the orders to the exchange first.
FORBES: You Can Get Burned Buying Stocks With Strong Earnings Growth
Flash orders, a type of order displayed on certain exchanges for less than 500 microseconds, expose information that is only valuable to those with the fastest computers.
In the 70 or so microseconds (millionths of a second) before the equipment is mashed, the inrushing walls of the magnet will squeeze and concentrate the magnetic field.
Money, reduced to bits on a fiber optic wire, could now be moved from account to account, country to country, in microseconds...so quickly that it rarely ever even needs to precipitate into actual currency.
Microseconds away (as the e-mail flies) is the International Finance Center, with an IT occupancy of 5% (that does not include a large number of banking and finance companies that work closely with the dotcoms).
In STAC (The Securities Technology Analysis Center) benchmarking, Solarflare and IBM achieved a top tested speed of 2.3 million messages per second with a mean latency of 14 microseconds and a standard deviation of latency at 2 microseconds using standard Ethernet and UDP protocols.
FORBES: HPC -- Solarflare Server Adapters Cut Through I/O Bottlenecks
Such computer systems require interconnectivity to provide access to centralized storage and as discussed above increasingly require the need to communicate with each other to not only provide virtualization properties already discussed but also deliver performance in an acceptable time-frame, often in the order of microseconds.
