OREANDA-NEWS. September 28, 2011. NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) announced today the development of hardware design technologies that provide real time analysis of large, frequently changing time series data such as stock information.

In recent years, the expansion of financial markets has resulted in a growing demand from the financial field for real time analysis of stock information. Although "complex event processing" (*1) offers extraction and analysis of data, the process is too slow to provide real time results.

NEC's new technologies process information directly through hardware, resulting in speeds approximately 50 times faster than conventional complex event processing. This minimizes delay and enables real time analysis of heavy volumes of frequently changing time series (sequential event) data.

Moreover, the new technologies allow users to quickly implement their own C-based algorithms or operations with respect to data processing and data analysis on fast, programmable hardware.
