BittWare Partner Framework
nxFramework
Low-Latency Development Framework
The Enyx Development Framework (nxFramework) is a hardware and software development environment designed to efficiently build and maintain ultra-low latency FPGA applications for the financial industry. Based on 10 years of research and development, nxFramework is the foundation for all Enyx off-the-shelf solutions and provides clients with the toolchain to manage a large portfolio of applications.
Developed for building in-house high performance trading engines, order execution systems, pre-trade risk check gateways, and custom projects — any skilled FPGA developer starting a new low latency project, maintaining an existing one, or looking to change platforms can immediately reduce their time-to-production with nxFramework.
