Research & Evidence

Measured Capability & Technical Evidence

PMRA Systems publishes engineering results when they are supported by primary artifacts, defined measurement scope and stated limitations.

Component benchmarks remain component benchmarks, and historical measurements are clearly distinguished from current runtime evidence.

VERIFIED PARTIALLY VERIFIED UNDER VALIDATION ROADMAP

Detailed technical evidence is available for qualified review.

Methodology

Research Validation Framework

01

Hypothesis

Research hypotheses are documented before evaluation.

METHOD
02

Data qualification

Dataset integrity, completeness and timing semantics are validated before analysis.

METHOD
03

Causal measurement

Market effects are separated from transport and execution effects.

METHOD
04

Out-of-sample validation

Results are evaluated on data outside the fitting window.

METHOD
05

Execution modeling

Execution models account for queue position, fees and cancellation behavior.

METHOD
06

Cost attribution

Costs and economic effects are attributed by component.

METHOD
07

Reproducibility

Inputs, methods and classification criteria are reproducible.

METHOD

Simulation, shadow observation and runtime records are treated as distinct evidence classes.

Evidence cards

Selected Technical Evidence

VERIFIED · PMRA-BENCH-001

168-Hour Reliability Test

Duration
168 hours, 1–8 October 2026
Samples
20,093
Recorded errors
0
Restarts
0
Scope
Controlled 168-hour read-only market data workload on public market data, with no order submission.
Limitation
Measures reliability and continuity; it does not represent trading, fill or latency performance.
ARCHIVED / PARTIALLY VERIFIED · PMRA-BENCH-002

Archived High-Throughput Engineering Test

Measurement
13.5M market data events processed; 16+ hours continuous operation with 0 recorded errors; shared-memory IPC throughput up to 946K msg/s; SBE encode 1.1 µs.
Date
16 March 2026
Environment
Historical regional cloud engineering environment.
Scope
Shadow-mode engineering test.
Limitation
Historical engineering environment; it does not represent the current runtime or order round-trip latency. The SBE figure measures encode time, distinct from acknowledgment time.
PARTIALLY VERIFIED · PMRA-BENCH-003

Authentication Signing Microbenchmark

Capability
Component-level cryptographic authentication benchmark (HMAC-SHA256 request signing).
Measurement
p99.9 signing time 0.180 µs.
Scope
Authentication component only.
Limitation
Component-level measurement only; it does not represent end-to-end tick-to-trade or order-acknowledgment latency.
UNDER VALIDATION

Packet-Path Engineering

Capability
AF_PACKET and AF_XDP receive paths have been evaluated in controlled laboratory tests.
Methodology
Offered-load sequence-integrity tests with missing-sequence accounting.
Scope
Packet receive path only.
Limitation
Kernel-bypass deployment remains under validation and is not deployed in the current runtime.
UNDER VALIDATION

Normalization, Risk, Ledger, TCA and Recovery

Capability
Market data normalization and integrity; risk, ledger and TCA components; reconnect and recovery behavior.
Measurement
Unit and integration test coverage across these components.
Scope
Implementation and test status.
Limitation
Production validation of the full execution lifecycle remains in progress.

Historical benchmark environments are reported separately from current runtime measurements.
