Microsecond-Latency, Fully On-Chip Limit Order Book Prediction on an Edge FPGA: A Lightweight INT8 1D-CNN Hardware–Software Co-Design
High-frequency trading demands microsecond, deterministic inference that jitter-prone general-purpose processors cannot deliver, yet fully on-chip edge-FPGA predictors for real-time limit order book (LOB) forecasting remain underexplored. This paper presents a hardware–software co-design that maps a lightweight residua...
