The STAC-M3 benchmark focuses on real-time quantitative trading using simulated market bid-ask and settled trade data for thousands of assets. STAC-M3 is a full-stack benchmark including compute, storage, networking, and software in a multi-user environment. It measures query response time for scenarios often used in algorithmic trading, risk management and trade strategy backtesting commonly performed by banks, hedge funds, quantitative trading firms and trading exchanges. Large data volumes, low latency, and complex processing capabilities are common characteristics of high-frequency trading and analysis environments. Financial firms have a growing need to collect, store, and analyze more data than ever before. Tick data analysis helps firms quickly react to market changes to maximize profits and manage risk. The STAC-M3 benchmark consists of two sets of tests, Antuco which measures performance based on a smaller dataset size and simulates the performance of a larger dataset, and Kanaga which uses a 20x larger dataset and larger number of concurrent users to match real-world conditions. The STAC-M3 audited results1 show that the configuration sets new world records on 19 of 24 Kanaga mean-time response benchmarks—including all 10 of 10 Kanaga 50 and 100 user benchmarks—and 3 of 5 Kanaga throughput benchmarks. In addition, 3 of 3 Antuco 50 and 100 user benchmarks also set new records. "In high-frequency trading and analytics, managing large data volumes, maintaining deterministic low latency, and handling complex processing are vital. Financial firms must analyze billions of tick data points per day to respond to market changes, optimize profits, and manage risk effectively," said Srini Krishna, Intel Fellow, Head of Data Center Products. "Today's STAC-M3 results show Intel Xeon 6 delivering record-setting performance and efficiency—helping trading teams act faster, capture alpha, and assess risk with confidence." The test configuration consisted of six 2U Supermicro storage servers for a total of 12U of rack space in contrast to previous record-holders which used two to four times more space (21U and 44U). With Intel Xeon 6 processors, the Supermicro dual-CPU Petascale server completed the compute-intensive 100-user unpredictable interval statistics benchmark 36% faster than ever before, all the while using 62% fewer CPU cores than the previous record holder. Despite using about half to a quarter of the rack space as previous record-breaking tests, the 12U 6-server configuration tested supported the highest storage capacity of 1.6PiB using performance-optimized Micron 9550 NVMe SSDs, which is more than six times the capacity of the next highest previous record. "When trading securities in a rapidly moving market, microseconds can mean millions of dollars, making speed the ultimate currency. In audited STAC-M3 testing, Micron 9550 NVMe SSDs and DDR5 RDIMMs delivered exceptionally low, predictable latency under heavy I/O and compute-bound operations, turning tick data into insights faster than ever," said Alvaro Toledo, vice president and general manager for the Americas Core Data Center Business Unit at Micron. "Our technical collaboration with Supermicro, Intel and KX Software sets new performance records and gives traders the edge they need to win." The six Supermicro Petascale all-flash storage servers used Intel Xeon 6 processors and Micron 9550 NVMe SSDs and DDR5 RDIMM memory.

LONDON, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Rapid industrial electrification, green energy imperatives, skyrocketing data center deployments, and transmission and distribution grid capacity constraints are prompting energy stakeholders to adjust the energy mix in favor of nuclear power through Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). According to a new report from global technology intelligence firm ABI Research, 262 SMRs will be deployed globally by 2040, representing an aggregated energy generation capacity of 42 gigawatts (GW). While significant momentum is not expected until 2030, strong growth is anticipated in the second half of the next decade. "SMRs offer a wide range of benefits," said Dominique Bonte, Vice President, End Markets and Verticals. "Their inherent upgradeability, flexibility, scalability, and rapid deployability make them suitable for a wider range of more granular, grid-based, and on-site deployment scenarios, such as data centers and industrial sites." SMRs provide clean, reliable, high-density, load-following energy sources within small security perimeters, reducing permitting complexity. Moreover, a new generation of SMR designs feature innovative fail-safe passive safety mechanisms and improved sustainability through nuclear waste recycling and optimized lifecycle management, both of which will be instrumental in establishing a more favorable public opinion. The fledgling SMR ecosystem comprises both established companies such as Rolls Royce SMR and GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy, with a long tail of challengers and startups like X-energy, NuScale Power, Aalo Atomics, Holtec, Oklo, Moltex Energy, Stellaria, and Deep Atomic. It benefits from government support in countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as from a healthy investment climate, with startups like NuScale Power and Oklo having gone public and players like X-energy raising private funding from investors including Amazon. The main barriers to SMR adoption include long regulatory approval cycles for new nuclear designs, as well as lengthy site permitting and environmental impact assessments. While regulators will hold the keys to SMR success, it's unlikely that a timely alternative capable of meeting future clean energy demands will emerge, with fusion prospects still remote. For most governments, going ahead with SMRs will be very tempting and, in some cases, even unavoidable, to prevent economic slowdowns caused by energy constraints, particularly when it concerns powering the GW datacenters of the future. These findings are from ABI Research's Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) – Technologies, Applications, and Forecasts application analysis report, part of the company's Smart Energy research service, which includes research, data, and ABI Insights.
