- MaxLinear disclosed hardware-accelerated OpenZFS results from a joint development with Los Alamos National Laboratory for HPC storage.
- Panther Storage Accelerator SoCs offloaded ZFS compression, checksums, encryption, deduplication, improving throughput while reducing host CPU load.
- Reported performance reached 47 GB/s writes with GZIP L9 at about 1.3:1 compression, versus about 1.2 GB/s without offload.
- Read throughput hit 57 GB/s versus about 8.1 GB/s, implying about 39x write speedup, about 7x read speedup.
- Architecture uses LANL’s Direct I/O and ZIA framework to scale multiple accelerators without changing core ZFS semantics.
