Philadelphia is a low-latency Financial Information Exchange (FIX) engine for the JVM.
You can use Philadelphia to connect to stock exchanges, brokerage firms, and other network endpoints that use the FIX protocol. You can also use it to provide your own services using the FIX protocol.
Philadelphia is designed to exhibit low and predictable latency. To achieve this, it supports non-blocking, zero-copy networking and does not allocate any memory on message reception or transmission. It can achieve 7.7 µs round-trip time (RTT) over the loopback interface.
Philadelphia requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 8 or newer.
