RTS Launches RTD CORE, Off-the-Shelf Matching and Order Routing Solution

Global Central Order Routing and Execution Management System Offered as Modular Component; Easily Integrated into RTD GUARD Risk Management Offering RTS Realtime Systems Group, a leading global trading solutions provider, announced today the worldwide launch of an off-the-shelf matching system, RTD CORE.  The Central Order Routing and Execution System can help firms not only handle their internal and external order routing and matching needs across global markets, but more easily manage their global exposure, share vital information internally and reduce costs. The multi-asset class matching engine includes high-speed access to more than 130 exchange venues globally - with co-located access to more than 65 of these marketplaces - and the ability to support over-the-counter (OTC) transactions and cash markets.  RTD CORE uses industry-standard FIX technology to provide an open platform that integrates easily into the new RTD GUARD risk management offering announced last week, as well as firms' existing infrastructure, risk management systems and other components of the trade flow cycle.  It is available as a fully hosted ASP (application services provider) outsourced solution. Steffen Gemuenden, RTS CEO, said: "In recent years, we developed a customized matching system that we deployed globally for a few of our largest clients, particularly those specializing in commodity trading on markets across the world.  These firms with extremely high standards were very pleased with the robust, high-performance technology and broad range of features available. We've now taken this proven system and enhanced the features to expand the offering into RTD CORE, an off-the-shelf, scalable solution that all interested firms can use.  Because risk management is such a vital part of any order routing and execution system, our clients can plug and play this next generation solution in concert with our RTD GUARD risk management offering, or integrate it seamlessly into their own risk solutions." Products traded and matched on RTD CORE will include equities, futures, options, foreign exchange, interest rates and custom OTC products.  Clients can include exchanges, OTC platforms, brokerage firms, supply chain management firms, commodity trading houses, hedge desks and swap execution facilities (SEFs) created by the Dodd-Frank Act, among others. RTD CORE provides multiple interfaces to exchange clearing facilities.

Although the term has gained popularity in recent years, and most people in the room expressed at least some familiarity with the concepts, there remains a substantial amount of uncertainty as to what exactly a component architecture entails. To address this, the lecturers presented an outline of how and why component architecture gained the spotlight in modern games engineering, and provided some tips and important rules on how to approach component-based designs. As object-oriented programming took hold and languages like C++ finally gained enough traction in the games industry to see widespread adoption, the typical design methodology involved creating rich, deep hierarchies of inter-derived classes. This quickly ran into issues such as multiple inheritance's "diamond problem," brittle structure, and questions of how to deal with "non-inheritance" situations (where some but not all functionality of a branch of the inheritance tree is desired in a particular leaf class). One reaction to this was to push functionality towards the roots of the inheritance tree, essentially creating "fat base classes." This is even more problematic in a practical sense because bloat of code in the base classes decreases readability, clarity, and maintainability; simultaneously, bloat of data in the base classes led to immense memory wastage and overhead, which became thoroughly unacceptable as games grew in scale. A more promising direction was to make the entire engine core highly light-weight and extremely data-driven, where virtually all of the behaviour and richness of the game simulation was accomplished in data rather than directly modeled in code. This approach still has its proponents, but suffers from a critical weakness: it lacks natural hooking points and specificity by which one can drill into the running simulation and inspect or modify its state. Put simply, offloading the complexity into data (away from code) deprives us of all the benefits of code-modeled introspection and manipulation. Classification of entities (Is this a weapon? An item? A door? A sharp weapon? etc.) Key properties (How much damage does this weapon do? How much does it weigh? Which direction does the door open, and what key(s) does it require?) Defined mappings of inputs to outputs (Weapon damage values modify health values; keys modify door lock states; etc.) Interchangeability (Can I use this weapon in place of that one?) .
