Abstract: In an aspect of the subject matter, a system dynamically selects a communication fabric for use with a trading exchange platform. The system includes a gateway executing on the trading exchange platform, and a client side library executing on a customer device that interacts with application programs executing on the customer device. The gateway and customer device communicate during an initial session over an out-of-band network to select a communication fabric (e.g., InfiniBand, etc.) of one or more communications fabrics available to the customer device. The client side library communicates with the gateway to establish a transaction session over an in-band network utilizing the selected communication fabric. The library then allows the customer device to perform transactions with the gateway of trading exchange platform through the gateway during the transaction session and over the in-band network utilizing the selected fabric.

Abstract: A system and method for profiling the runtime environment of a software application written in a platform-independent (e.g. platform neutral) programming language. Such a software application can invoke a non-application-code component to facilitate the functioning of the software application. The profiling tool and method can generate runtime profiles relating to both the software application and the non-application-code component invoked by the software application.
