Cboe Global Markets plans to introduce the Cboe Dedicated Cores effective Monday, February 26, 2024, for the Cboe EDGA Equity Exchange, subject to regulatory review.
Dedicated Cores is a new optional service that allows Members and Sponsored Participants to host their specific logical order input ports on their own dedicated CPU core(s). Dedicated cores are expected to provide reduced latency, improved performance, and improved performance by utilizing the full processing power of a single CPU core. Currently, CPU cores are shared by logical ordering input ports on a given server.
As of the effective date, companies will be able to request that a new BOE logical order entry port be assigned to their own dedicated CPU core, while also continuing to use BOE logical order entry ports on shared CPU cores as they do today. This will allow companies to run on a mix of shared and dedicated CPU cores for additional risk and capacity management.
As of the Effective Date, Dedicated Cores will be available as an optional service on EDGA to Members and Sponsored Participants using the BOE order entry protocol. There will be no changes to the BOE order entry protocol for the entry of Dedicated Cores.
Each Member will be limited to a maximum of 10 Exclusive Cores and each Sponsored Access Participant will be limited to a maximum of four Exclusive Cores per Advertised Access relationship.
