Abstract: An order management device and method of implementing that device in an integrated circuit. The order management device including a memory having a first and second data structure. The first data structure stores orders associated with a set of P limits. The second data structure includes the limits in a list of N limits that are not contained in the subset P, the entries in the second data structure being allocated dynamically. A first management core processes input commands related to an order, updates the first data structure and generates at least one update command to be sent to a second management core. The second management core updates the second data structure in response to the update. The first management core processes input commands independently of the update command processing by the second processing core.

Abstract: A decoding device is implemented on an integrated circuit, for decoding a market data input stream received in a given data representation format. The decoding device comprises an engine built around a finite state machine, the engine being generated from at least one description file and configured to perform the following steps, in a current state of the finite state machine: i) dividing the market data input stream into a number of tokens and reading a set of tokens, ii) accumulating the set of read tokens in internal registers, iii) generating output commands from the tokens accumulated in the internal registers depending on a condition related to the tokens accumulated in the internal registers, and iv) selecting the next state of the Finite State Machine state based on a triggering condition.

Abstract: An asset management method implemented on an integrated circuit uses a keys memory storing keys, each key being associated with an asset identifier, and a data memory storing asset information. The method comprises: receiving an input command for an asset comprising an asset identifier and asset information, computing addresses to Keys memory from the asset identifier, the computing addresses comprising calculating hashes from the asset identifier, finding or allocating an entry in keys memory for the asset, based on the computed set of addresses, depending on the input command, computing a data address to the data memory for the asset from the address and position in the keys memory at which an entry has been found or allocated for the asset; reading data in the data memory at the computed data address; and executing the input command based on the data read in the data memory at the data address.

Abstract: The invention provides an order book management device (10), implemented on an integrated circuit, for aggregating orders identified in input data streams into at least one order book, each order comprising a price and a quantity information, each order book being associated with a tradable object and comprising a sell side and a buy side, each order book side storing a list of limits, each limit being associated with a given price and a quantity, the quantity associated with a limit corresponding to the sum of the quantities of the received orders comprising the given price.
