Complex Event Processing on FPGA

Hi All,

Can somebody suggest me a technical report/paper/case study of
implementation of Complex Event Processing in FPGA.

Basically, I want to know how to implement CEP in FPGA. I am trying to
build a high volume high speed data stream handling device[hint: think
trading!] and I need that initial 'handle' to start developing/getting
started in implementation of CEP in FPGA.

Your suggestions, comments are most welcome

Tell your idiot stock trader customers to go to blazes.
Anything that makes their greedy silly systems respond
even faster will make the financial markets even more
unstable and chaotic than they already are, and we will
all be worse off.  Instead of feeding them with yet more
technology that they're too stupid to use well, give
them a few good books on control theory and hope that 
either they all die of boredom or perhaps they might 
learn something about making systems stable.

Not that I'm bitter or anything, of course :-)

Decompose your Complex Events into their Real and Imaginary components,
and process these in parallel.

Please note, it is an all too common mistake to take algorithms
originally designed for real values, and apply them to imaginary values.

Hope this helps,

What if I say, technology is inevitable. And secondly, I am not
operating in US financial market :)

Thanks a lot Brian.
Do you have any good book/literature on this topic?


Thank You.

Given the OP says it's for "trading", and we have imaginary values, it
must be for CDOs & suchlike :)

The j is orthogonal to my problems; it's
the j^2 that worries me :-)

THey have a "C-To-FPGA" environment that allows people to design C
software and then accelerate it in Hardware (i.e. an FPGA).

One of the application they mention is "Financial feed handling".

I've never used the product though, YMMV

Thanks

But I have already checked it and seen it . It has as such nothing to
do with CEP specifically. It is a C-HDL compiler which is used to
automatically accelerate part of the computational demanding codes for
FPGA.
The financial feed handling part is in its increased flexibility to
tweak and process and analyse the feed datas.

If anybody can share some light on this discussion is most welcome.

I will be grateful for any advices, hints and suggestions .
