As all flash arrays mature into full feature platforms, early adopter
applications (such as server virtualization and on-line transaction
processing) will be surpassed by industrial internet-of-things
applications. These new future applications are expected to generate
petabytes of ephemeral data that require high compression rates and data
write throughput. In these applications, storage controller overhead
from data compression can lead to increased CPU load, higher power
consumption, and lower throughput. This presentation compares the
performance of different data compression algorithms (LZO, LZ4, GZIP,
and BZIP2). Comparisons will be shown in terms of throughput, CPU
utilization, and power.
Based on performance experiments, the AHA374 GZIP accelerator card can
provide the same compression throughput as 14 Xeon cores performing
LZO/LZ4. Additionally, the AHA374 GZIP accelerator card increases flash
memory cycle lifetime and storage capacity by almost 50% by providing
better compression ratios than LZO/LZ4.
The presentation will take place on August 10, 2016, at 9:45 a.m. -10:50
a.m., Session 202-C: Flash Arrays Part 2 (Enterprise Storage Track) at
the Santa
Clara Convention Center in California.
