RSJ implements kdb+
The Prague-based proprietary trading shop will use Kx's database and time-series analysis platform to support modeling for its algorithmic trading systems.
Reason 1: Speed
It doesn’t get much faster than this. Multiple cores and multi-threading built right in to the system. Publish and subscribe mechanisms that offload processing onto chained servers. Intelligent compression, with a choice of algorithms. And more.
Reason 2: Flexibility
It’s all about kdb+’s built-in query language, q. With a powerful, concise and elegant syntax that is in many ways familiar to database programmers, it is easy to learn and incredibly productive.
Reason 3: Simplicity
Kdb+ is remarkably simple to set up and manage. Because databases are stored in ordinary native files and have a columnar structure, indexing and joins are simplified and search performance is dramatically accelerated.
Reason 4: Reliability
Kdb+ supports failover, so there is no loss of data or performance. There is also local logging, as well as the ability to replicate between data centers and to deploy kdb+ in distributed environments, such as clouds. Not to mention industry renowned worldwide technical support.
Reason 5: Time Series
Date, time, and timestamp (to nanosecond) are basic data types, making time-ordered analysis extremely fast. Not only that, special queries and joins match tables on date/time, permitting aggregate values in time buckets, select values as of given times, and more.
