Thioester-ester-amide copolymers

A system and method for administering an investment contract between at least two investors. Initially, the investment contract is associated with a first investor. The contract is based on at least one underlying commodity, however, the first investor does not hold the underlying commodity or agree to buy or sell the underlying commodity. The system matches the contract with a second investor thereby creating an active contract. The second investor does not hold the underlying commodity or agree to buy or sell the underlying commodity. The system temporarily holds the first and second investor funds associated with the contract, and pays off one of the first and second investor upon expiration of the contract. Contract expiration is based on either a deviation from a target price or a time horizon.

Financial exchange system and method

A network gateway processor architecture including a scalable array of compute processors that function to convert inbound data packets to outbound data packets, an ingress processor coupleable to a first network to receive the inbound data packets and coupled to provide the inbound data packets to the compute processors, and an egress processor coupleable to a second network and coupled to the compute processors to collect and forward the outbound data packets to the second network. The ingress processor distributes inbound data packets to the compute processors based on a least load value selected from current load values determined for the respective compute processors of the scalable array. The current load values represent estimated processing completion times for the respective compute processors of the scalable array of compute processors. Preferably, the current load values are dynamically derived with respect to the size of the inbound data packets and the performance of the respective compute processors.

Load balanced scalable network gateway processor architecture

A server appliance self-adaptively configures to the operating parameters of a communications network to enable remote configuration control exclusively via the communications network. The server appliance includes a host computer system including a network interface controller and an operating system, executable by the host computer system, that is configurable by a defined set of network values for transmitting and receiving data packets through the network interface controller without network configuration conflicts. A control program, executable by the host computer system in conjunction with the operating system, determines, on initial start-up and specifically with respect to the communications network, an initial set of network values to configure the operating system. The control program is subsequently responsive to a first broadcast data packet containing network configuration parameters that are used to determine and apply a second set of network values to configure the operating system, which are then applied as the operating configuration of the operating system with respect to the network.
