System Jitter and Where to Find It: A Whack-a-Mole Experiencer Presented by: Michal, Software Engineer at Jane Street

In this Tech Talk, Michal shares his expertise on reducing jitter—deviations from mean input processing times—in low-latency systems. Maintaining consistently low jitter in a trading system allows us to offer tighter markets without incurring additional risk. Using a simple memory ping-pong application as a case study, Michal will walk through how to identify and resolve common sources of jitter caused by both Linux kernel and microarchitectural conditions.

Register now to hear from Michal, and, of course, grab some food and swag! We will confirm attendees by EOD on Monday, 3rd November. Please note this event has limited capacity.
