Linux plays an important role in the financial service industry. For example, the New York Stock Exchange runs on Linux, and it can generate 1.5 million quotations per second and process 0.25 million orders. With the increasing demand for cross-domain cooperation among enterprises in the market, open-source APIs for efficient connection to multiple application transmission become too impatient. Based on this background, the OpenMAMA project, hosted by the Linux Foundation and jointly participated by leaders from a number of financial services industries, was announced. The project aims to provide high capacity for cross-industry cooperation between multiple companies, standard and interface for low-latency message communication.
Currently, financial service enterprises that have joined the OpenMAMA (Middleware Agnostic Messaging API) project include industry giants such as Bank of America Merrill Lynch, EMC, and JP Morgan Chase, the OpenMAMA project aims to create a high-performance middleware-independent message interface and provide abstract-layer APIs supporting different message-oriented middleware to accelerate cross-domain cooperation between multiple enterprises in different architectures.
As a middleware-independent project, OpenMAMA enables users to quickly adapt to the new middleware and application technologies that emerged as the market changes. While ensuring high performance, high throughput, and low message latency, it also helps organizations shorten the time for event-driven applications to enter the market.
OpenMAMA uses the general definition of "Publisher/subscribe" (publish/subscribe. In this message mode, a message is not directly sent by a publisher to a subscriber. Instead, the subscriber first publishes a topic. The Subscriber first marks a topic of interest, and the subscriber only receives messages of interest to the subscriber. The relationship between the publisher and the subscriber is decoupled, which makes the system more scalable. (Original: http://our4.org/376.html)
