| Peter Nabicht | STAC | Speaker | Research in realtime Jeffrey Ryan, Quant at Large and R contributor (e.g. quantmod and xts) David Cohen, Senior Principal Engineer, Intel Corporation Glenn Wright, Systems Architect, KX Exogenous shocks–everything from tweets to pandemics to Reddit posts–shift markets, disrupt profitable strategies, and alter risk profiles. Firms that adapt to changing market dynamics survive; those that do so the fastest thrive. In order for alpha generation, risk management, or surveillance to be agile, the supporting research platform must allow a firm to search for signals or anomalies across historical and live data extremely quickly and to test algorithm changes just as fast. But this is easier said than done. How are systems today bridging the divides between live, recently live, and historical data? How well can platforms combine batch processing and streaming analytics? What is the impact on research and production workflows? How does this change the role of the quant? Once a platform enables quants to see the full picture, can it also help them avoid problems like overfitting or bias? Our panel of experts will discuss these questions and more. To kick off, some of the panelists will provide a short presentation: "Accelerating Analytics by Closing the Memory Storage Divide" Steve Scargall, Persistent Memory Technical Sales Specialist, Intel Corporation "KX Streaming Analytics Platform & Time-Series Database" Glenn Wright, Systems Architect, KX STAC Update: Time series stacks | — |
