We are thrilled to share the highlights and milestones that have definedan extraordinary year for Xelera Technologies. From innovations tostrategic partnerships, this year has been transformative. Lets take a look at 2024!

Major product release Xelera SILVA

In 2024, Xelera Technologies reached a major milestone by unveiling the New / enhanced version of  Xelera Silva Utra Low- Latency.

Xelera Silva delivers unprecedented ML inference speeds for XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost models, achieving ultra-low latency between 1.36 and 1.66 microseconds with its advanced capabilities of concurrent model execution and dual accelerator modes, it seamlessly integrates into existing systems, setting a new benchmark in performance and efficiency for industries worldwide.

Xelera Silva offers two modes to enhance high frequency trading systems, making integration simple and efficient.

1. The first mode, Software API Integration, provides ultra-low latency with typical ML inference times of just 1.55 microseconds. This mode easily connects with software-based trading systems, offloading intensive inference tasks to ensure smoother operations and maintain a competitive edge in technology.

2. The second mode, IP Core, is designed to integrate directly into FPGA designs, offering lightning-fast ML inference with latency as low as 440 nanoseconds. This integration enhances the speed and efficiency of your trading algorithms, streamlining your system while reducing overhead, and giving you a significant performance advantage in the fast-paced trading arena.

Enhancing Internet Security with IPsec

In our IPsec Series on LinkedIn, Stefan Seitz, Head of R&D at Xelera Technologies, breaks down how IPsec enhances internet security by focusing on the key exchange process.

First, key generation is usually done using Diffie-Hellman (DH) or Elliptic-Curve-Diffie-Hellman (ECDH). This generates a shared secret that can be used by both communicating parties for encrypting and decrypting messages

Then, the authentication process allows peers to mutually prove their identity. Finally Other functions of IKEv2, which not only provide the cryptographic foundation for all subsequent IPSec-related operations but also it facilitates the exchange and negotiation of parameters that affect the subsequent IPSec based communication. For example, during the setup of an IPSec session IKEv2 exchanges policies that determine which traffic will be sent over an IPSec tunnel and which doesn't.

New website for Xelera Silva and Xelera Net

In 2024, Xelera Technologies achieved a significant milestone by launching new websites for our products, Xelera Net and Xelera Silva.

These new online platforms showcase our commitment to innovation by providing comprehensive insights into the capabilities of our products. Xelera Net enhances network performance and security with advanced features, while Xelera Silva sets new standards in ML with ultra-low latency inference.

New partner collaboration with Blackcore ® Technologies

Xelera Technologies and Blackcore Technologies announced a strategic partnership to revolutionize the high-frequency trading (HFT) landscape. This collaboration combines Xelera’s Silva AI acceleration technology with Blackcore’s ultra-optimized HFT servers, delivering unmatched performance and reliability to traders.  

This partnership represents a pivotal step in transforming high-frequency trading because the combined solution enables the effective utilization of AI, while maintaining the ultra-low latency advantages inherent to HFT systems.

We are excited about the potential of this partnership. By combining our expertise and resources, we aspire to drive innovative projects together and push the boundaries of cutting-edge technologies.

Christmas party at Xelera

The 2024 Christmas party at Xelera Technologies was one of the highlights of the year.
