Keynote: The System that Matters
summary
SoftIron announces silicon acceleration for Ceph erasure coding, moving from a naïve offload that showed no gain to a matched hardware‑OS‑driver design that actually speeds reads and recovery often by an order of magnitude. The product targets 6+2 erasure coding to cut storage amplification from triple‑replication’s ~3x to about 1.33x, and appears in a very high‑density, low‑power 1U appliance using Arm64 (and x86 where appropriate).
