The STAC Benchmark Council will hold its next general meeting (a "STAC Performance Summit") on Thursday, June 4, 2009 at 3pm in JP Morgan Chase's auditorium at 383 Madison Avenue in New York (just steps from Grand Central Station). The meeting will be followed by cocktails. Click here for details. This event is free to all end-user firms (sell-side, buy-side, exchange/ATS) through an "Observer Membership" in the Council, for those that are not already members. End-user firms may send an unlimited number of employees to this meeting (subject to space availability). Vendor members of the Council may send up to two employees, and sponsorship opportunities are also available. STAC meetings bring together the industry leaders who are building and using the latest low-latency, high-performance solutions. The June meeting will kick off with tech superstar Andy Bechtolsheim. Andy is a serial innovator and entrepreneur who has been called the "Eric Clapton" of technology for, among other things, co-founding Sun Microsystems and giving Google its seed funding. Now he is Chairman of low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch provider Arista Networks. Andy has an eye for disruptive opportunities, and he will share his latest views on computing in the opening keynote address. Andy's "lower stack" keynote will be followed by an "upper stack" keynote by Carl Trieloff, director of Red Hat's MRG (Messaging, Real-time, Grid) product engineering and a founding member of the AMQP consortium. AMQP (Advanced Message Queue Protocol) is an open standard for messaging that is attracting a lot of attention in financial services. Carl will discuss AMQP's past, present, and future, and how AMQP responds to modern messaging challenges. Other speakers will be announced shortly. Expected sessions: • Panel or round-up on high-performance innovations for trading • Standardized measurement of high-performance messaging: STAC-M2 (market data distribution) and STAC-E2 ('guaranteed' messaging) The meeting will be followed by an opportunity to network with your peers over cocktails.
