DESCRIPTION:Optiver is a leading proprietary trading firm\, running a glob
 al network with thousands of high-performing low-latency applications\, ge
 nerating petabytes of data every day. We are designing and deploying syste
 ms based on FPGA’s as critical components within our trading systems\, a
 nd through these we manage to have sub-microsecond reaction times in respo
 nse to market events. During this lecture we will cover topics such as:\n*
 Why you would design custom electronics for trading? \n*What type of tradi
 ng problems are FPGAs suited towards?\n*What is the engineering philosophy
  at work in Optiver? \n*Is this for real?\n
