xrnd is an advanced technology group specialising in high-performance data-intensive systems. xrnd develops core software technology, vertical products for sectors such as financial services and ecommerce, and provides full project life-cycle consultancy services.

We are organised around three activities:

• Systems: custom systems development, re-engineering, prototyping, algorithm development
• Services: high-level consultancy in architecture and software development, training, path-finder studies
• Research: systems level research for data-intensive applications, high-performance parallel/vector algorithms, use of novel hardware

A unifying theme in our work is our clients' needs for processing every greater volumes of data, often in a real-time setting. Our engineers are comfortable using a variety of languages and hardware platforms to provide the performance and scalability required for the most demanding applications in finance and ecommerce. These include financial data feed handling, on-the-fly web click-stream analysis, rapid trend analysis, recommendation and personalisation systems, and real-time context sensitive advertising.

Our engineers develop practical software systems, and advise on, leveraging 64-bit multi-core processors, clusters, and novel hardware to meet your performance requirements. This includes OS tuning, compiler optimizations, vectorization and parallelization, and application of high-end data analysis products. We are happy to help you understand how best to apply our capabilities to solve your problems by providing initial engineering assessments of your needs.
