GORD - What's the System Architecture?
GORD is like a global order database, which isn't exactly an order database, though it is global. One of the things that's expensive about GORD is serializing all this information. And so as we were starting to do new kinds of trading that required many more messages, but most of the information on them was very, very small. We did not want to encode that in our existing types because it would be very, very wasteful in terms of the amount of overhead we would have to include. So we made a new format that we use to represent things.
