FPGAs in Finance: A Practical 101 as in 2026

K.3.601
Babar Khan
<p>I have been working hands-on with FPGAs for open-source projects in distributed storage and networking. More recently, I have been interested to FPGA applications in finance and ultra–low-latency systems. Along the way, I found out that several open-source projects were immensely helpful, which made me realize that engineers and developers who want to get started could benefit from the same resources. This talk will cover the fundamentals of how, why, and where FPGAs are used in financial applications. Naturally, this talk will also highlight key open-source projects that can help the community build FPGA-based projects in this domain.</p>
