Hi Ceph-Uers, I noticed that Soft Iron now have hardware acceleration for Erasure Coding[1], this is interesting as the CPU overhead can be a problem in addition to the extra disk I/O required for EC pools.
Does anyone know if any other work is ongoing to support generic FPGA Hardware Acceleration for EC pools, or if this is just a vendor specific feature. Thanks [1] https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/05/20/softiron_unleashes_accepherator_an_erasure_coding_accelerator_for_ceph/
