description
Performs microsecond-level latency analysis of the full order path in
high-frequency trading systems — profiling network hop timings from
co-location cage to exchange matching engine, measuring kernel-bypass
and FPGA gating delays, analyzing tick-to-trade latency distributions
across percentiles, identifying jitter sources in NIC timestamping and
serialization, and benchmarking against competitive latency targets.
Produces latency heat-maps, bottleneck reports, and hardware/software
optimization recommendations. Excludes trading strategy logic and
alpha signal research.
