Accelerated Erasure Coding

Posted on

Are there any plans to support offloading erasure coding in Ceph to a GPU in order to support the much larger HDDs that are coming that support larger sizes, but fewer IOPS? This would allow still using commodity hardware without having to try to get a server with enough CPU resources to handle the processing. There are many white papers discussing how this has been successful but still it does not seem to be officially supported for some reason.
