Data analytics in FIS with kdb+/q

Our next Meetup is at a new space, Tonic at 727 Seventh Avenue, and will have a cash bar and appetizers. It is being co-sponsored by Corvil who will have an iPad mini give-away. There will be two speakers, Raymond Russell, CTO and cofounder of Corvil, and Edward Cormack, a financial engineer from First Derivatives.

Raymond will be talking about how banks and exchanges mine networks for deeper insights into the state of their business, including how kdb+ is a natural fit for this purpose.

Edward will be talking about his “q for Gods” whitepaper: Multi-threading in kdb+: performance optimizations and use cases. Edward joined First Derivatives in 2011 and is works at an investment bank in New York, developing a kdb+ platform for global equity risk.
