The Cisco Nexus X100 SmartNIC K3P-Q is a high-density, ultra-low latency network interface card specifically optimized for electronic trading and high-performance computing. It features two QSFP28 ports that can be deployed in a high-density 8-channel configuration. This pure FPGA-based adapter offers software trigger-to-response latencies as low as 596ns, which is significantly faster than previous generations. It is designed to accelerate tick-to-trade performance, providing a competitive edge for software-based trading systems. The card includes 9GB of DDR4 memory for custom user applications and offloading critical network functions directly into the NIC hardware. It supports advanced features such as zero-latency cost hardware flow steering, cut-through receive, and preloaded packet transmission to minimize communication overhead.
