Thank you! This is great to know. I surely could handle design server cloud equipment, do they use Open Computing or is all custom made?

For the bank world in the context of HW it's all about latency, I'm not sure what apps they run.

Well, if latency is the issue, most likely the software just loads data, models and supervisory systems (telemetry, setup, etc). All the processing must be done in the FPGAs straight to the firehose.
