And the HFT industry is incentivized to use as little processor time as possible, and thus as little power as possible.

- gowld 8y agoThat's not true. They'll take a 400W 10GHz CPU over a 5mW 1 GHz CPU every time, if it generates better financial returns.
- ethbro 8y agoParent was referring to latency optimization, I believe. But I'd assume most of those folks have ML / other slower models constantly churning away in the background, even if their HFT reactions are highly tuned and simpler.
- perl4ever 8y agoMy impression is that to the extent that HFT is about relative speed, competition can't reduce power usage.
