Ah, I see. That reminds me of https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8389648/ (7 years ago, just normal AVX).

I also just found http://redd.it/8dhp7q asking about AVX512 slowdowns too.

TIL about FPGA feed handlers. (http://redd.it/56tw4n, one of the first hits for the term, was mildly interesting)

Hmm, good point about not needing speed. Yeah, 24 execution units each capable of 3 billion ops/sec is probably more performance than is needed :)

Interestingly, I would have imagine HFT as needing ABS-style hard realtime. But no, it neither needs that nor is simple enough to be encapsulated by that sort of embedded-style approach.
